Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, featuring John William 1711, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The Palatinate was a region in southwestern Germany that was heavily influenced by the Protestant Reformation and was a key player in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's minting was likely a symbol of the region's economic and political power during this time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold and weighs 3.5 grams suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin in its time.
