| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Kempten was among the oldest imperial abbeys in the Holy Roman Empire, its origins traditionally traced to a Benedictine foundation by Saint Hildegar in the eighth century. By the early eighteenth century it functioned as a sovereign prince-abbey, its abbots holding the rank of Reichsfürst and exercising full secular jurisdiction over their territory. Anselm von Reichlin-Meldegg served as prince-abbot from 1728 until his death in 1747, and this ducat was struck in the first full year of his reign.
Kempten's gold coinage was never produced in large numbers — the abbey's mint operated intermittently and largely for prestige rather than commerce.
