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 actually used as a circulating coin. Instead, it was created as a pattern strike, which means it was produced as a prototype or sample coin to test the design and minting process. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
