Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from County of Schaumburg-Lippe, issued in 1777 during the reign of Philip Ernest, is a rare and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique process called "rolling mill technology," which was a innovative method for producing coins at the time. This process involved using a rolling mill to create a uniform thickness and design on the coin, resulting in a more consistent and higher quality product. This coin is a prime example of the advanced minting techniques used during the late 18th century, and its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
