Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1577 Danzig Siege coinage 1 Ducat is that it was countermarked with a unique symbol, the "Danzig cross," which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued during a time of siege or military conflict. This feature makes it stand out from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
