Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1770 Bishopric of Regensburg 1 Ducat coin is that it features an image of Saint Emmeram, the patron saint of Regensburg, on the reverse side. Saint Emmeram was a bishop and missionary who was martyred in the 7th century, and he is still revered as a saint in the Catholic Church today. The inclusion of his image on the coin highlights the strong religious heritage and tradition of the Bishopric of Regensburg during the time period in which the coin was minted.
