Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Ducats 1739 coin from the City of Zurich is that it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity. The coin was minted in 1739, just over 100 years after the formation of the Swiss Confederation in 1291. At that time, the Confederation was a loose alliance of cantons, and the coinage system was not yet standardized across the country. Despite this, the 6 Ducats coin from Zurich is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted. Its gold content and historical significance make it a highly sought-after piece among numismatists.
