Comment

Jobst Edmund von Brabeck, Bishop of Hildesheim (1697-1702),

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's origin and authenticity, and it adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to the coin.
