Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat 1649 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is interesting 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. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg continued to mint coins, including the 1 Ducat, which was used as a medium of exchange and store of value. The fact that this coin was made of gold (.986) and weighs 3.42g suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after currency during this time period.
