Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducat 1632 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is that it features an image of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, on its reverse side. Fortuna is depicted standing on a rock, holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolizing the prosperity and good fortune of the city of Nuremberg. This coin was minted during a time when Nuremberg was a prominent trading center in Europe, and the image of Fortuna was meant to represent the city's wealth and success.
