Comment
Minted in NürnbergInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Lothair Francis of Schönborn (Peace treaty of Ryswick) 1696 coin is that it was minted to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697, which ended the Nine Years' War between France and the Holy Roman Empire. The treaty was negotiated by Lothair Francis of Schönborn, who was the Archbishop of Mainz and a prominent diplomat of the time. The coin's design features an image of Schönborn on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz on the other.
