Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 7 Ducats - Johann V 1615 from Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) gold coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued by the Bishopric of Chur, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of Saint Lucius, the patron saint of the diocese, on one side and the coat of arms of the bishop on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power of religion and the importance of gold as a symbol of value and stability.
