Interesting fact
The 1830 Louis I (Rheingold-Dukat) coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced as a replacement for the previous currency, the Gulden, which had become devalued due to inflation. The introduction of the Ducat coin was an attempt to stabilize the economy and restore confidence in the currency. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was well-received and remained in circulation for many years.
