Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat - Louis Rudolph ND (1721) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Brunswick-Blankenburg, where the coin was minted, was a small state in what is now northern Germany, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic and trade networks of the time. The use of gold in the coin's production also speaks to the value and wealth of the region during this period.
