Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1790 Lübeck Ducat is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the late 18th century, a period marked by the rise of capitalism and the decline of feudalism. The Free Hanseatic City of Lübeck, where the coin was minted, was a significant trading center and a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea region. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the wealth and sophistication of the city and its merchants during this time.
