Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Rudolph II ND (1590-1612) from City of Zwolle (Dutch States) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the City of Zwolle, which was not commonly seen on coins of that time. This adds a touch of local history and culture to the coin, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the region.
