1 Ducat - Frederick Charles of Schönborn

Frederick Charles von Schönborn held the remarkable distinction of ruling simultaneously as Prince-Bishop of both Würzburg and Bamberg from 1729, an accumulation of ecclesiastical-territorial power that made him one of the most politically significant figures in the Holy Roman Empire's Franconian circle. His family, the Schönborns, were prolific patrons of Baroque architecture — Balthasar Neumann worked under Frederick Charles directly — but the ducats minted during his brief joint tenure reflect the fiscal machinery of a prince who governed two wealthy sees at once.

The Würzburg and Bamberg issues of this period are catalogued separately despite the shared ruler, which occasionally causes confusion in attribution.
