Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat 1632 from Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) is an extremely rare coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city of Nuremberg. In the early 17th century, Nuremberg was a major trading center and a prominent member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that spanned across Northern Europe. The city's wealth and influence are reflected in the high quality and craftsmanship of the coin, which was made from gold (.986) and weighs 3.51 grams. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
