Comment
Meyer 94Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat 1639 from City of Dortmund (German States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) taking place during the same period. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that showcase the skill of the mint masters of the time.
