Interesting fact
The 4 Ducats coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 14 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich history and culture of the region.
