Comment
Lippstadt mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Christian, Bischof of Halberstadt (Pfaffenfeinddukat) 1622 coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious tension in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin's name, "Pfaffenfeinddukat," translates to "priest-hater ducat," which reflects the anti-clerical sentiment that was prevalent during the Protestant Reformation. Despite this, the coin still features an image of Christian, the Bishop of Halberstadt, on one side, highlighting the complex religious and political dynamics of the time.
