Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Counts of Windisch-Grätz (Austrian States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1732-1733, a period marked by the rise of mercantilism and the development of new trade routes, which led to an increased demand for gold and other precious metals. As a result, the 1 Ducat coin, which was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.5 grams, was a highly valuable and sought-after currency during this time.
