Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Joseph Ignatius Philip of Hessen-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748). Despite the conflict, the coin's high gold content and intricate design have made it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
