Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted in 1645 during the reign of Maximilian I, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the ransom of prisoners during the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. The coin's value was standardized across the German States, making it a widely accepted form of currency during that time.
