Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features an image of Frederick Charles of Schörnborn, who was the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg from 1731 to 1734. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Bamberg. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the 18th century, made of gold with a high purity level of .986 and weighing 3.49 grams.
