Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its value was backed by the gold standard, which gave it a high level of credibility among merchants and traders.
