Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern Ducat - Gerold II von Zurlauben (Off-Metal Strike) 1723 from Abbey of Rheinau (Zürich) made of Silver weighing 3.53 g is that it is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a pattern coin, meaning it was struck as a trial or sample, and not intended for circulation. This particular coin is an off-metal strike, meaning it was struck on a different metal than the standard issue coin, in this case, silver instead of the usual copper. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
