Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - John George I 1628 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued by John George I, who was the Elector of Saxony and a powerful leader in the region. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing influence of trade and commerce in the region, as well as the need for a standardized form of currency that could be used across different territories. The fact that it was made of gold and had a high purity level of .986 also speaks to the value and importance of the coin at the time.
