Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats 1718-1767 from City of Zürich is that it was minted during a time when Switzerland was still a collection of independent states, and the coin was used as a means of payment and exchange across different regions. Despite being made of gold, the coin was widely accepted and used in trade due to its standardized weight and purity, which made it a reliable store of value and medium of exchange.
