Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Ducats 1646 from City of Zürich is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city. In the mid-17th century, Zürich was a major trading hub and a prominent center for the production of textiles, and the coin was likely used to facilitate trade and commerce within the city and beyond. Additionally, the coin's high gold content and detailed design reflect the city's reputation for producing high-quality currency during this period.
