Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Carl XII (Type 2) 1707 from City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) coin is interesting because it was minted during a unique historical period. The coin was issued during the reign of King Charles XII of Sweden, who was known for his military conquests and territorial expansion. The coin's minting was likely a way to promote the Swedish Empire's influence and power in the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold and weighs 3.49 grams makes it a valuable and rare collector's item.
