Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - George William 1634-1636 from State of Brandenburg-Prussia (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the coin was minted during the aftermath of this conflict, which had a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of the region. The coin's mintage was likely a way for the State of Brandenburg-Prussia to reassert its authority and rebuild its economy after the devastation of the war.
