Comment
Struck with the 2 taler dies.Interesting fact
The 10 Ducats coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 34.75g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance in Europe. The coin was issued between 1627 and 1630, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges and political instability. Despite these challenges, the coin's high gold content and intricate design demonstrate the advanced craftsmanship and economic power of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg during this time.
