Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Anselm Casimir Wambolt 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 was still ongoing when the coin was minted in 1629, causing widespread devastation and disruption throughout the region. Despite this, the Archbishopric of Mainz continued to produce coins, such as the 1 Ducat, which were used to finance the war efforts and maintain the economy.
