Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Principality was one of the many German states that had been affected by the conflict. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design showcasing the skill of the mint's craftsmen.
