Interesting fact

The 10 Ducats 1662 from City of Stralsund (German States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) having recently ended and the Holy Roman Empire in the process of dissolution. Despite these challenges, the City of Stralsund was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the minting of this coin is a testament to the city's resilience and economic strength during this period.
