Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Ducats (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1658 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse side depicts the coronation of the emperor, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and flowers. This design was used specifically for the coronation ceremony, which took place in 1658, and was not used on any other coins. This makes the coin a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire.
