Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Michael FedererInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Passau is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "I.P." (for "Iohannes Philipus," Latin for John Philip) on the reverse side, which was a personal mark of John Philip of Lamberg, the Bishop of Passau who commissioned the coin. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
