Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat ND (1640) from Free imperial city of Aachen (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "A" in the center, which represents the city of Aachen. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "AACHENSIS CIVITAS LIBERA" (Free City of Aachen). This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive and valuable collector's item.
