Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Anselm Casimir Wamboldt of Umstadt 1642 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "A.C.W." (Anselm Casimir Wamboldt) on the reverse side, which was a personal touch added by the archbishop to distinguish his coins from others in circulation.
