Comment
Mintmaster - F.H.-C.H. Friedrich Heuglin and Christian HeuglinInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Louis Eugen 1794 coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a significant impact on the German states, including Württemberg, and led to the eventual abolition of feudalism and the establishment of a more modern, secular government. This coin, minted in 1794, reflects the tumultuous period in which it was created, and its design and symbolism may have been influenced by the political and social upheaval of the time.
