Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen was minted during a time of great economic and political significance in Europe. The coin's mintage was a result of the Aachen's membership in the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Circle, a group of territories in the Holy Roman Empire that were committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region. The coin's design, which features the image of a knight on horseback, symbolizes the city's commitment to military strength and its role in protecting the Empire's borders.
