Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishop, Joseph Clemens, on the reverse side. This shield is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, adding to the coin's ornate and detailed appearance.
