Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1741 Maria Theresia Ducat coin is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa, who was the only female ruler of the Habsburg Empire and one of the most powerful women in European history. She ruled for 40 years and her reign was marked by significant political, economic, and cultural reforms. The coin's design features a portrait of the Empress on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, symbolizing her authority and power.
