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 late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period marked by the rise of capitalism, the French Revolution, and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these challenges, the Regensburg Ducat remained a popular and trusted currency, and its value was backed by the city's strong economy and rich trading history.
