Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the City of Erfurt, minted during the reign of Gustav Adolphus II (1633-1634), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. This coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 3.5 grams, was a symbol of the city's wealth and power during a time of great upheaval.
