Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 7 Dukat coin from the City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) is that it was minted during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, who was the King of Sweden from 1611 to 1632. He was a prominent figure in European history and is known for his military campaigns and his role in the Thirty Years' War. The coin's design likely reflects his image and symbolizes his power and influence during that time.
