Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. The Regensburg mint was one of the most important mints in the empire, and the 1 Ducat coin was widely used throughout the region. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its value was based on the gold standard, which gave it a high level of credibility and reliability.
