Comment
Mintmaster IAL - Johann Adam LongerichInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - John William II 1707 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Palatinate region, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued by John William II, 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. Despite the political and economic challenges facing the region, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.986) and weighs 6.70 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the people who minted and used it.
