Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.45 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the City of Cologne was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the coat of arms of the city on one side and the image of Saint Ursula on the other, who was the patron saint of the city.
