Previously linked to Stettin (Szczecin), recent studies now indicate this coinage was struck in Strassburg (French: Strasbourg) in 1633/34 as tribute to the Swedish army. The crossed pokers mintmark of the mintmaster of Strassburg, Johan Hermann, can be seen on the obverse under the shield. Truly a fascinating piece of history, this lustrous gold Ducat teaches us that discoveries still await us in numismatics.
