Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats ND (1620) from City of Cologne (German States) gold coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the City of Cologne, which was not commonly seen on other coins of the time. This adds a touch of local pride and identity to the coin, making it a special piece of numismatic history.
