1 Ducat - Wolfgang von Schrattenbach

Wolfgang von Schrattenbach served as Prince-Bishop of Olomouc from 1711 until his death in 1738, presiding over one of the wealthiest ecclesiastical territories in Moravia during the reign of Charles VI. The Bishopric held the rank of an imperial prince-bishopric, giving Schrattenbach the right to strike coinage in his own name — a privilege fiercely maintained even as Habsburg centralization steadily eroded such rights across Bohemia and Moravia through the early eighteenth century.

Fr#98 is among the scarcer ducats of his episcopate. The Olomouc mint's gold output in this period was modest and largely ceremonial in character.
