Interesting fact

The Ducat 1640 from the City of Basel 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 of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) raging across the continent. Despite the conflict, the City of Basel was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as the Ducat 1640, which were highly valued for their purity and quality.
