Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat (New Year; Silver pattern strike) ND (1800-1801) from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.74 g is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin's obverse features a portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II, while the reverse depicts the Nuremberg coat of arms surrounded by a wreath. This particular design was only used for a few years before being replaced by a new design, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
