The 2 Ducats - Christina 1646 from City of Erfurt (German States) coin is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich history and culture of the region. Additionally, the use of gold (.986) and the weight of 6.92g make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
