Interesting fact
The 1742 Gold Ducat from the City of Cologne (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the Roman Emperor, Charles VII, on one side and the coat of arms of Cologne on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment and was considered a symbol of wealth and power during that time.
