Comment
Presented by Frühwald as a late strike (not 1593).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats - Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau 1593 coin is that it features a unique design element - a wolf's head on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name. This design was chosen to represent the bishop's name, Wolf Dietrich, and is a nod to his family's coat of arms, which featured a wolf. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of its time and adds to its historical and numismatic value.
