Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Ducats (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1792 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a crowned eagle with a shield bearing the coat of arms of Frankfurt, while the reverse shows a crowned shield with the date 1792 and the inscription "FRANCISCUS II IMP. AVG." (Francis II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire). This design was created specifically for this coin and was never used on any other coin, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece for collectors.
