Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Swedish dominion of Pomerania (German States) minted during the reign of Charles XI (1695-1697) was made of gold with a purity of .986, which is unusually high for a circulating coin. This indicates that the coin was intended to be a symbol of wealth and power, rather than a practical means of exchange. Additionally, the coin's weight of 3.5 grams makes it a unique and notable example of a gold coin from this time period.
