Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Francis George of Schönborn is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued in 1735, just a few years after the end of the Great Northern War, which had a profound impact on the region's economy and political landscape. Despite these challenges, the Archbishopric of Trier, where the coin was minted, continued to produce high-quality gold coins like the 1 Ducat, which were widely used for trade and commerce. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Archbishopric during a period of significant upheaval.
