Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in the region. The reign of George William (1684-1685) saw the construction of numerous grand buildings, such as the Celle Castle, and the establishment of the Opera House, which hosted many famous composers and musicians. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.5 grams, is a testament to the prosperity and wealth of the region during that time.
