Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Bishopric of Bamberg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin was minted during the reign of Christoph Francis of Buseck, who was the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from 1795 until his death in 1802. This was a time of political and social upheaval, as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars were taking place, and many German states were being reorganized or annexed by larger powers. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Bamberg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 1 Ducat coin.
