Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - John Frederick 1675 from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg (German States) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of John Frederick, the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, while the reverse side features a depiction of the crucified Christ, flanked by two angels and surrounded by a circle of dots. This blending of religious symbols was a common practice in the German States during the 17th century, reflecting the complex religious landscape of the time.
