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 minted during a time when Lübeck was an independent city-state and a major trading power in the Baltic Sea region. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms and the inscription "Lübекка Слободная Ганзейская Городъ" (Lübeck, Free Hanseatic City), highlighting Lübeck's status as a free and independent city. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history and prosperity of Lübeck during that time.
