Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats (Siege coinage) 1577 from City of Danzig (Polish States) made of Gold is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Stefan Batory, who was facing a severe economic crisis and was forced to debase the currency to pay for military expenses. Despite this, the 10 Ducats coin remained a valuable and highly sought-after currency, and its gold content made it a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
