Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. The Regensburg mint was one of the many mints that produced coins for the Empire, and the ¼ Ducat was one of the most widely used coins in circulation during that time. Despite the turmoil and upheaval of the era, the Regensburg mint managed to maintain a high level of quality and consistency in its coinage, making the ¼ Ducat a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
