Interesting fact
The Ducat 1697 from the City of Zurich is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the City of Zurich was not yet a part of Switzerland, but rather a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, and its rarity makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
