Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat coin from the City of Zürich is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city. In the 17th century, Zürich was a major trading hub and a prominent center for the production of textiles, and the coin was likely used extensively in local trade and commerce. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design would have made it a valuable and highly sought-after item among collectors and merchants.
