Comment
Montenuovo 1759Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1745 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Emperor Francis I, while the reverse depicts the coronation of the emperor, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used specifically for the coronation of Francis I in 1745 and was not used on any other coins. This makes the coin a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the German States.
