Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ducat - Sede Vacante 1784 from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of political and religious turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, referring to the period when the Pope's seat was vacant due to the death of the previous Pope and the election of a new one. This period of political and religious instability is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of the Prince-Bishop of Liege on one side and the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishopric on the other. Despite the turmoil, the coin was still made of high-quality gold (.986) and weighs 3.5 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the people who minted and used it.
