Interesting fact
The 1 Dukat coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted between 1695 and 1701, is interesting because it was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.47 grams. This coin was significant because it was used as a medium of exchange during a time when gold coins were widely accepted as currency. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in a free city, which was a self-governing entity within the Holy Roman Empire, highlights the political and economic independence of Augsburg during that time.
