Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 7 Ducats - Thomas I 1617 from Lordship of Haldenstein (Grisons) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1617, which was just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that had ravaged much of the continent. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still managed to be made with high-quality gold (.986) and weighed a substantial 24.5 grams. This speaks to the resilience and craftsmanship of the mint that produced it, as well as the value that was placed on currency during this period.
