Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Counts of Veldenz, which was the ancestral family of Francis Louis of Pfalz-Neuburg. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the saint. This detail highlights the rich history and cultural significance of the coin, and the importance of the Counts of Veldenz in the region.
