Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Ducats - Ferdinand II (Hall) 1624 from Austrian Empire made of Gold (.986) weighing 35.4 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1619 to 1637 and King of Bohemia from 1617 to 1619. This was a period of great upheaval, marked by the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and had a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. Despite the challenges of this time, the Pattern 10 Ducats coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Austrian Empire.
