Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducaton - Albert and Isabella (Piedfort of triple weight) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Spanish Netherlands. The coin was issued in 1619-1620, a period when the Dutch Republic was fighting for independence from Spain, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the economic needs of the time. The coin's unique design, featuring Albert and Isabella, and its silver content, make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
