Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats coin from the City of Bern (1680-1697) is that it was minted during a time when the city was experiencing significant economic growth and political stability, which led to an increase in trade and commerce. As a result, the coin was widely used in international trade, particularly in the Mediterranean region, and its high gold content made it a popular choice for merchants and traders.
