Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Frederick V 1612 coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Palatinate region of Germany. The coin was issued by Frederick V, who was the Elector Palatine at the time, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of the Palatinate on the other. The coin was made of gold (.986) and weighed 7 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item. Despite its age, the coin remains in relatively good condition, with many examples still available for purchase today.
