Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducat coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, who was struggling to maintain the power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire in the face of growing nationalism and territorialism among the German states. Despite these challenges, the Regensburg mint continued to produce high-quality coins like the 2 Ducat, which were widely used for trade and commerce throughout Europe.
