Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1787 Gold Ducat from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) 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 Enlightenment and the emergence of new ideas about democracy and individual rights. The Ducat was a widely used currency at the time, and this particular coin is a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic craftsmanship of the era. Despite being over 200 years old, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a tangible piece of history that connects us to the past.
