Comment
An example from the Nagybánya mint:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ducat coin featuring Francis I of Lorraine is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Hungary. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis I, who ruled Hungary alongside his wife, Maria Theresa, from 1747 to 1767. During this period, Hungary was experiencing significant economic growth and development, and the Ducat coin was an important symbol of the country's prosperity and influence in Europe. The fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.49 grams also speaks to the coin's value and significance during this time.
