Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.49 g is interesting because it was used as a means of payment and exchange during a time when trade and commerce were flourishing in the region. The coin's gold content and intricate design made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and its use helped to facilitate economic growth and development in the area. Additionally, the fact that it was issued by a free city-state like Lübeck, which had a high degree of autonomy and was known for its economic and political power, adds to its historical significance.
