Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ducat - Johann Anton 1767 from Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Pope Clement XIII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its finances. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing demand for gold coins during this period, as trade and commerce were expanding rapidly. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Ducat - Johann Anton 1767 is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
