Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1660 Ducat from the City of Dortmund is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "D" in the center, which stands for "Dortmund." This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "CIVITAS DORTMUNDIA" (City of Dortmund). This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other German States coins of the time and makes it a sought-after collector's item.
