Interesting fact
The 6 Ducats coin from the City of Lüneburg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 19.91 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite this, the City of Lüneburg continued to mint coins, indicating the city's resilience and economic strength during this period. Additionally, the coin's high gold content and detailed design reflect the city's commitment to producing high-quality currency, even during times of turmoil.
