Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Leopold II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1790 to 1792. The coin features an image of Leopold II on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.50 grams. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and was used as a means of payment throughout the Holy Roman Empire. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The French Revolution was taking place during the same period, and the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges to its power and authority. Despite these challenges, the 1 Ducat coin remained a valuable and widely used form of currency throughout the empire.
