Comment
Minted in 1698Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats - Joseph Clemens (Brilon Ausbeute Dukat) 1696 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued by the Archbishopric of Cologne, which was a powerful and influential state in the German region at the time. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing demand for currency as trade and commerce expanded across Europe. Despite being over 300 years old, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
