Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1743 2 Ducats Siege coinage from Braunau (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and scarcity. The city of Braunau was under siege, and the usual supply chains and minting operations were disrupted. Despite these challenges, the mint was able to produce a limited number of coins, including this 2 Ducats coin, which was made of gold (.986) and weighed 7 grams. This coin is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the people of Braunau during a difficult period in history.
