Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the City of Konstanz (German States) is that 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 City of Konstanz was able to maintain its economic independence and continue minting coins, such as the 1 Ducat, which were highly valued for their gold content and used as a medium of exchange throughout Europe.
