Interesting fact
The 3 Ducats 1772 from the City of Bern is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, with the rise of the Enlightenment and the decline of feudalism. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Bern and the image of a crowned eagle, reflects the city's growing influence and prosperity during this period. Additionally, the use of gold in the coin's minting represents the value and wealth of the city and its ruling dynasty.
