Interesting fact

The 1821 Rheingold-Dukat coin features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "R" on the reverse side, which stands for "Rheingold," a type of gold that was used in the coin's minting process. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and denomination.
