Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Aachen was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the issuance of this coin is a testament to the city's economic resilience during this time.
