Interesting fact
The Ducat ND (1658) from City of Schaffhausen 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, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), which had a profound impact on the economy and trade of the region. Despite the challenges of this period, the City of Schaffhausen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as the Ducat ND (1658), which are now highly sought after by collectors.
