Interesting 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. Despite this, the Archbishopric of Mainz, where the coin was minted, remained a significant center of power and wealth, and the coin reflects this with its high gold content and detailed design.
