Interesting fact
The 6 Ducats 1745 coin from the Free City of Augsburg is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the coat of arms of Augsburg on one side and the image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VII, on the other. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted by a free imperial city during this time period, and its high gold content and detailed design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
