Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Ducats (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1790 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never actually used as a circulating coin. Instead, it was created as a pattern strike, which means it was produced as a prototype or sample coin to test the design and production process. This makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of coinage.
