Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat 1645 from the Free Imperial City of Aachen is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place during the same period. Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and political significance of the time.
