Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maximilian Joseph Ernest, who was the Prince-Bishop of Freising and a member of the powerful Wittelsbach family. This coin is a rare example of a gold ducat from the German States, and its high gold content and detailed design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
