Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Lothair Francis of Schönborn 1712 from Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Lothair Francis of Schönborn, who was the Archbishop of Mainz and a prominent figure in the Holy Roman Empire. However, the coin was minted in a time of conflict between the Holy Roman Empire and the Protestant states, which ultimately led to the coin being minted in a relatively small quantity. This scarcity, combined with its historical significance, makes the coin a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
