Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles 1720 from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the early 18th century, a period marked by the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the development of new monetary systems. The Ducat, specifically, was a popular trade coin during this time, and its minting in Hesse-Cassel reflects the region's growing economic influence. Additionally, the coin's gold content and weight of 3.5 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
