Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat 1649 from Free City of Regensburg (German States) is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce.

The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
