Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Ducat was designed by Dutch engraver and artist, Josephus Augustinus Brouwers. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 1 Ducat features a portrait of King Willem III on the obverse side, with a crowned shield and a wreath of laurel leaves on the reverse side. This design was meant to symbolize the Dutch monarchy and the country's rich trading history.
