Comment
Mintmaster - Ernst TextorInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring John Philip of Schönborn is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Empire was struggling to maintain its power and influence in Europe. Despite this, the Archbishopric of Mainz, where the coin was minted, remained a powerful and wealthy state, and the coin reflects the wealth and prestige of the region.
