Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Peace Treaty of Ryswick, which was signed in 1697 and 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.
