Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the City of Emden (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.48 g is interesting because it was used as a means of payment and exchange during a time when the German States were still using various local currencies, and it was not until the late 18th century that a standardized currency was introduced across the region. This coin, with its high gold content and detailed design, would have been a valuable and sought-after item in its time.
