Interesting fact

The 10 Ducats coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 35g is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin's mintage period, 1773-1790, saw the rise of Enlightenment ideas and the subsequent political and social upheavals that led to the French Revolution and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these changes, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the economic and cultural significance of the Free City of Regensburg during that time.
