Comment

Mintmaster - Johann Wilhelm Schlemm

Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Ducat was a proposed coin design that was never actually minted, making it a rare and unique piece among collectors. It was intended to be used as a sample for a potential new currency for the German States, but the project was ultimately abandoned. As a result, only a small number of Pattern 1 Ducats were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
