Interesting fact
The Ducat ND (1640) from City of Basel is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) raging across the continent. Despite the conflict, the City of Basel was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, including the Ducat ND (1640). This coin is a testament to the city's resilience and ability to adapt during difficult times.
