Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats 1600 from City of Bern is that it was minted during a time when the city was an independent republic, and the coin features the coat of arms of Bern on one side and the image of a bear on the other, which is a symbol of the city and the canton of Bern.
