Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat ND (1635-1652) coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Strasbourg mint continued to produce coins, including this gold ducat, which was used as a means of exchange and store of value. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Strasbourg on one side and an image of the Virgin Mary on the other, reflecting the city's religious and political affiliations at the time.
