Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats ND (1793) coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system and led to the introduction of new currency systems in many countries. Despite these changes, the 10 Ducats coin remained a valuable and widely used denomination in the German States and beyond.
