Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Ducat 1732 from Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed just over a century prior in 1648. The coin's minting was likely a symbol of the young nation's growing economic and political influence in Europe.
