Interesting fact
The Ducat 1646-1650 from the City of Zurich is a rare and valuable coin, with only a limited number minted during its production period. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for merchants and traders in the city, and its value was equivalent to the value of a skilled craftsman's daily wage. This coin is a testament to the economic and trade history of Zurich during the 17th century and is highly sought after by collectors and numismatists today.
