Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat ND (1745-1765) from Free city of Regensburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, who was instrumental in the development of the Austrian Empire. The coin's mintage was also significant because it marked the beginning of a new era in coinage for the German States, as it was one of the first coins to be minted under the new imperial system. Additionally, the coin's gold content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency and accuracy in trade, making it a valuable and reliable form of currency during this time.
