According to tradition, such coins were intended for the king's personal coffers for distribution. Medal 5-ducats did not serve as circulation coins; they were rewards and gifts. Therefore, there was no need to strictly adhere to the standard weight of ducats. Medal 5-ducats are very rare coins and exemplify baroque medallion art.
