Interesting fact
The Ducat ND (1772) from City of Bern 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 political and economic change in Europe, with the Swiss Confederation undergoing significant reforms and the French Revolution just a few years away. Despite these turbulent times, the coin's high gold content and intricate design have made it a sought-after collector's item for centuries.
