Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1764 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 Emperor Francis I, while the reverse shows a crowned eagle with the Frankfurt coat of arms. This design was created specifically for the coronation of Francis I as Holy Roman Emperor and was only used on a small number of coins, making it highly sought after by collectors.
