Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Brixen (Austrian States) minted in 1618 during the reign of Charles the Posthumous is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique gold content of .986, which is higher than the standard .900 or .917 gold content found in many other coins of that era. This higher gold content makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
