<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2375992, member: 77704"]Thanks, I agree! The Imperial Cities in Germany were part of the Holy Roman Empire. So, Leopold I of Habsburg ruled a vast swath of territory. Even so, in 1683 the Capital Vienna came so close to falling to the Ottoman Turks, forcing Leopold to flee to Linz. I have the tiny 1/32 Dukat /1/16/1/8/ versions too. When under magnification the 5mm 1/32 coin has precise detailed obv./rev. These tinnie weenie coins would have been easy to loose back in 1700, much like a 1700 version of a US10cent coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
