Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Christoph Bernhard of Galen is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Münster. The coin was minted in 1652, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany, including the Bishopric of Münster. Despite the challenges faced by the region, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design. This coin is a testament to the resilience and skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it during a difficult period in history.
