Interesting fact

The 10 Ducats 1623 from City of Memmingen (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 the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that lasted for three decades and involved much of Europe. Despite the turmoil and destruction caused by the war, the City of Memmingen was able to continue minting coins, including this rare and beautiful 10 Ducats piece.
