Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. The Regensburg mint was one of the most important mints in the empire, and it produced a wide range of coins, including the 3 Ducats coin, which was used as a trade coin throughout Europe. Despite the turmoil of the time, the Regensburg mint maintained a high level of craftsmanship and quality, making the 3 Ducats coin a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
