1 Ducat - Christian, Bischof of Halberstadt Pfaffenfeinddukat

Christian of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Administrator of Halberstadt from 1616, was one of the most belligerent Protestant commanders of the Thirty Years' War. He reportedly wore a gauntlet on his hat with the motto "Friend of God, enemy of priests" — hence the popular name Pfaffenfeinddukat, the "priest-enemy ducat." The coin was struck in 1622, the same year he suffered a decisive defeat at the Battle of Höchst against Tilly's Catholic League forces, retreating across the Rhine with catastrophic losses.

He financed his campaigns partly by melting church plate seized from Catholic institutions across the diocese he nominally administered.
