Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the City of Kampen (Dutch States) was minted during a time of great economic and cultural significance for the region. The Dutch States, also known as the Dutch Republic, was a confederation of seven provinces in the Low Countries that existed from 1588 to 1795. During this time, the Dutch States experienced a period of great prosperity and cultural growth, known as the Dutch Golden Age. This coin, minted in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, is a tangible representation of the economic and cultural achievements of the Dutch States during this time.
