Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat (Tricentenary of the Reformation; Silver pattern) 1817 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Reformation, which was a significant event in European history. The coin's design features an image of Martin Luther, a German theologian and reformer who played a key role in the Protestant Reformation, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
