Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the City of Cologne (German States) is that 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 devastating conflict that ravaged much of the continent and had a profound impact on trade, commerce, and the economy. Despite these challenges, the City of Cologne continued to mint coins, including the 1 Ducat, which remained a popular denomination among merchants and traders. The coin's gold content and intricate design made it a trusted and valuable form of currency, and it continued to be used long after the war ended.
