Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.42 g is interesting because it was used as a means of payment and store of value during a time when many different currencies were in use in the Holy Roman Empire. It was first introduced in 1635 and remained in circulation until 1686, making it a popular and widely used coin during that time period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold, a valuable and durable metal, made it a reliable and sought-after coin.
