What does DUCAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A gold or silver coin formerly used as currency in various European states.
A ducat was a standard trade coin minted by cities and states such as Venice, first in gold and later copied elsewhere across Europe, from the Middle Ages into the nineteenth century. Its reliable weight and purity made it trusted well beyond its country of origin, so merchants used it in international trade much as a modern reserve currency is used today. In one famous scene, characters in a play by Shakespeare argue over three thousand ducats, showing how familiar the coin once was.
