Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats coin featuring Anselm Casimir Wamboldt of Umstadt is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the Archbishopric of Mainz, where the coin was minted, was one of the many German states that had been affected by the conflict. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's high gold content and detailed design demonstrate the skill and craftsmanship of the mint's artisans.
