Comment
Goppel 737, Forrer IV:193Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat (Peace of Nijmegen) 1679 coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) is interesting because it was minted to commemorate the Peace of Nijmegen, a series of treaties signed in 1678 that ended the Dutch War and established Strasbourg as a free imperial city. The coin's design features an image of the Roman goddess of peace, Pax, on the obverse, and the Strasbourg coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's gold content and historical significance make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
