Interesting fact
The Ducat 1645 from the City of Zurich is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite the conflict, the City of Zurich was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as the Ducat 1645, which were highly valued for their purity and quality.
