Comment
Slg. Heerdt 559Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.F.C." (for John Frederick Charles) placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it personalizes the coin to the ruler who issued it.
