Fugger family

The Fugger family was a German upper-bourgeois family based in Augsburg that was a prominent group of European merchants and bankers who controlled much of the European economy in the 16th century and accumulated enormous wealth. This ten-ducat gold coin was struck by the family in 1621 for the County of Kirchberg and Weissenhorn, which they ruled from 1536 to 1806.
