Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Free City of Augsburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued between 1645 and 1657, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite the turmoil, the Augsburg Ducat remained a stable and highly valued currency, reflecting the city's economic and financial strength during this time.
