Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1742 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, while the reverse features a crowned imperial eagle with the Frankfurt coat of arms. This design was created specifically for the coronation of Charles VII and was only used on a limited number of coins, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
