Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - George II August (Harz Ausbeute) 1729 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued by the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, which was a powerful state in the German region during the early 18th century. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing demand for currency during this period, as trade and commerce were expanding rapidly. The fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 3.45g suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin at the time.
