Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Lothair Francis of Schönborn is that it was minted to commemorate the Peace Treaty of Ryswick, which was signed in 1697 and ended the Nine Years' War between France and the Holy Roman Empire. The treaty marked an important turning point in European history, as it established the principle of sovereignty and the concept of a balance of power in international relations. The coin's design, featuring Schönborn and the treaty's name, serves as a symbol of this significant historical event.
