Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the City of Zwolle (Dutch States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.34 g is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during a time when the Dutch States were still using the Hungarian type of coinage, which was introduced by King Sigismund of Luxembourg in 1434. This coin was minted between 1590 and 1593, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
