Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Patagon - Philip IV 1632-1643 from Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg) made of Silver (.873) weighing 28.10 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This coin was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during this period, and its silver content would have made it a valuable commodity. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the Duchy of Luxembourg, which was a small but strategically located region in the heart of Europe, makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
