Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Gustavus Adolphus II 1631 coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Gustavus Adolphus II on one side, and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex power dynamics at play during this period.
