Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely accepted throughout the German States.
