Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the coin was minted during the reign of Frederick William, who was the Elector of Brandenburg and the Duke of Prussia. This coin was used as a means of stabilizing the economy and promoting trade in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.986) and weighed 3.43 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after currency.
