Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the County of Schaumburg-Lippe, issued in 1762 during the reign of William Frederick Ernest, is a rare and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique process called "proof minting," which involves striking the coin multiple times to create a highly detailed and polished finish. This process was used to create a small number of coins for collectors and dignitaries, making the 1 Ducat coin a highly sought-after piece among numismatists.
