Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who was a member of the Habsburg dynasty and ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1658 to 1705. The coin was minted at the Royal Mint of Silesia, which was located in the city of Brieg (now Brzeg in Poland). The coin was made of gold and weighed 3.43 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
