Interesting fact
The Ducat 1633-1657 from City of Schaffhausen is a rare and valuable coin, with only a limited number minted during its production run. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and the English Civil War (1642-1651) taking place during this period. Despite these challenges, the City of Schaffhausen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the Ducat 1633-1657. This coin is a testament to the city's resilience and adaptability during a time of great upheaval.
