Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint to signify the coin's authenticity and value. It's a distinct characteristic that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
