Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1746 Bamberg 1 Ducat coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.B." (Senatus Populusque Bambergensis) which represents the motto of the city of Bamberg, "Senate and People of Bamberg." This motto was used to signify the city's independence and sovereignty.
