Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "IHS" (Iesus Hominum Salvator, or Jesus Savior of Men) surrounded by rays, which was a personal emblem of John Philip of Schönborn, the Archbishop who commissioned the coin. This emblem represents his devotion to his faith and his commitment to spreading the message of Christianity.
