Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1730 Pattern 1 Ducat from the Free City of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.A." (for "St. Augsburg") located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the design to indicate that the coin was minted in the Free City of Augsburg, which was an independent city-state within the Holy Roman Empire. This small detail highlights the coin's origins and adds to its historical significance.
