Comment
Heller 340, Slg. Piloty 1163. Maué (Schönborn) 55Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Frederick Charles 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 1732-1733, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and many German states were becoming independent. This coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 3.47g, was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Bishopric of Würzburg, and it remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
