Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Christina (1st portrait) 1643 from City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) coin is interesting because it was minted during a unique historical period. The coin was minted in 1643, a time when the City of Riga was part of the Swedish Livonia, a region that was under Swedish rule from 1629 to 1721. This coin is a representation of the cultural and political influences that were present in the region during that time. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold and weighs 3.49g makes it a valuable and rare coin for collectors.
