Interesting fact
The 12 Ducats 1726 from City of Cologne (German States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few specimens known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Holy Roman Empire having recently been dissolved and the German states struggling to maintain their independence and power. Despite these challenges, the City of Cologne was able to issue this coin, which features a beautiful design and is made of gold, signifying the wealth and prosperity of the city at the time.
