Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted during the reign of Ludwig ND (1516-1521), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the "Kaufmann" or merchants who traded goods along the famous "Bohemian Road" or "Golden Trail," a significant trade route that connected the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the Kingdom of Bohemia. This coin played a vital role in facilitating trade and commerce during that time.
