Comment
Mintmaster HLK - Hans Ludwig KienlinInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the City of Ulm (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.47 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. The City of Ulm, located in what is now the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, was an important trading center and minted its own coins to facilitate commerce. The 1 Ducat coin was a standard circulation coin that was widely used in trade and commerce during this time period. Despite the turmoil and change happening in Europe, the City of Ulm was able to maintain its economic stability and prosperity, as evidenced by the minting of this coin.
