The 10 Ducats coin from the City of Erfurt, minted during the reign of Christina of Sweden (1645-1648), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the resilience and skill of the mint's craftsmen during a period of great adversity.
