1 Ducat - Christoph Francis of Buseck

Christoph Francis of Buseck became Prince-Bishop of Bamberg in 1795, inheriting a diocese already destabilized by French Revolutionary pressure on the left bank of the Rhine. This 1802 ducat was struck in what proved to be the final year of the Bishopric's existence as an issuing authority — Napoleon's Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 dissolved the ecclesiastical territories of the Holy Roman Empire, and Bamberg was secularized and absorbed into Bavaria.

Buseck died in 1805, having spent his final years stripped of temporal power. Issues from this last minting period are genuinely scarce.
