Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "GF" (for George Frederick) surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the archbishop's mitre and cross. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item.
