Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Louis I (Rheingold-Dukat) coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1842, just a few years after the German Customs Union was formed, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the German states. The coin's design, featuring Louis I, the King of Bavaria, was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the German states. Additionally, the coin was made of gold (.937) and weighed 3.47 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item today.
