Interesting fact
The Ducat 1646 from the City of Zurich is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a prized collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and the fact that it was minted using a high purity of gold (.986). The coin's weight of 3.5 grams also adds to its uniqueness, as it is slightly heavier than other coins of similar size and composition.
