Interesting fact
The Ducat 1679 from the City of Bern is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the City of Bern was an independent state, and it features the coat of arms of Bern on one side, along with the inscription "Bernensis Civitas" (City of Bern). This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Switzerland, and it is highly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
