Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Anselm Casimir of Umstadt is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War had begun in 1618 and lasted until 1648, causing widespread destruction and economic disruption throughout the region. Despite this, the Archbishopric of Mainz continued to mint coins, including this 1 Ducat coin, which was likely used to help finance the war efforts.
