Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Leopold I (Graz) 1676 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705 and was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the empire's economy.
