Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1801 Lübeck Ducat is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on trade and commerce in the region. Despite these challenges, the Lübeck Ducat remained a popular and trusted form of currency, and its value remained stable throughout this period. This speaks to the reputation of the Free Hanseatic City of Lübeck as a major trading power and financial center in Northern Europe during this time.
