Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ducat 1707-1717 from City of Zürich is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph I, who was instrumental in introducing a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the economy and centralizing power in the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these efforts, the empire was eventually dissolved in 1806, and the coin became a relic of a bygone era. Today, it is a highly sought-after collector's item, prized for its historical significance and rarity.
