Comment
Minted from gold fount at Grube St. AndreasInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat - Christian (Mining Ducat) 1629 from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle (German States) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the German States during the 17th century, and it was made of gold, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The fact that it was made of gold and had a high level of purity (.986) made it a reliable and valuable form of currency. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of Christian, the ruler of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, adds to its historical and cultural significance.
