Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Louis Gustavus, who was the Count of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst from 1684 to 1709. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during his reign, and its high gold content and weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
