Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from County of Hanau-Münzenberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William VIII, who was the Count of Hanau-Münzenberg from 1737 to 1740. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and the German states were in the process of forming their own independent governments. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.5 grams, was a symbol of the economic and political power of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg during this time of transition.
