Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Free City of Augsburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.46 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued between 1705 and 1707, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist economy. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the growing influence of trade and commerce during this time, and its issuance by the Free City of Augsburg, a prominent trading center in southern Germany, highlights the city's importance in the regional economy.
