| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's marriage ducats occupied a peculiar civic niche — they were not struck for general circulation but commissioned as presentation pieces, typically distributed at patrician weddings within the city's tight oligarchic merchant class. The 1690 date places this piece during a period when Augsburg was still recovering economically from the Thirty Years' War's long commercial aftershocks, yet the city's goldsmiths and die-cutters retained enough institutional prestige to produce technically accomplished work.
Fr#71 confirms the fineness at .986, essentially pure by contemporary standards — a deliberate choice for a gift object where material value was the point.
