1 Ducat

Nuremberg's ducats of this period were struck under the city's own mint authority — a privilege it had held since the medieval period and one it jealously guarded even as the Holy Roman Empire's political coherence frayed around it. By 1760, the city was deeply enmeshed in the financial pressures of the Seven Years' War, with Prussian and Austrian forces maneuvering through Franconia and municipal treasuries across the region strained by troop contributions and requisitions.

The Friedberg 1910 attribution covers a tightly defined type; the Erlanger collection reference anchors this to one of the more rigorously documented Nuremberg series.
