Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the City of Rostock (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the region. The coin was issued between 1636 and 1655, a period when the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation of cities in Northern Europe, was at the height of its influence. The City of Rostock was an important member of the League and the coin likely played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce within the region.
