Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Free City of Augsburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.46g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city. Augsburg was a key center for trade and commerce in the German States during the 17th century, and the Ducat coin was an important symbol of the city's wealth and influence. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms and an image of the Virgin Mary, reflecting the city's strong religious and cultural heritage. The fact that it was made of gold and had a high level of purity (.986) also speaks to the city's wealth and economic power at the time.
