Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Archbishopric of Trier, featuring John Hugo of Orsbeck, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord or ribbon through, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This was a common practice during the Renaissance era, and it adds an interesting historical context to the coin's use and significance.
