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 Enlightenment, and the French Revolution. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the growing wealth and sophistication of the Regensburg merchant class during this time.
