Comment
The Ducatone's value fluctuated over time. In neighbouring Duchy of Mantua it was around 10 Lire in the 1600's.Interesting fact
The 1 Ducatone coin was minted during the reign of Duke Nicolò Ramirez, who ruled the Duchy of Sabbioneta from 1644 to 1670. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Ramirez family on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 31.32 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. It's interesting to note that the Duchy of Sabbioneta was a small state located in the northern part of Italy, and it was known for its rich agricultural land and trade routes. The coinage of the Duchy was characterized by its unique designs and high-quality craftsmanship, which made it popular among collectors and traders. Overall, the 1 Ducatone - Nicolò Ramirez 1666 coin is a valuable piece of numismatic history that offers a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of 17th-century Italy.
