Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1770 August Philip (Ascession) 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Speyer (German States) is that it was minted to commemorate the ascension of August Philip, the Prince-Bishop of Speyer, to the throne in 1770. The coin features an image of August Philip on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Speyer on the other. The use of gold (.986) and the weight of 3.49 g make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
