| Aanvullende informatie |
Anselm Casimir Wamboldt von Umstadt governed the Archbishopric of Mainz during one of its most catastrophic stretches — the city fell to Swedish forces in 1631 and remained occupied until 1636, leaving the electoral administration fractured and finances severely disrupted. These ducats were struck in the final years of his reign as the Thirty Years' War ground toward its conclusion, when Mainz was slowly reasserting institutional normalcy but far from stability.
The .986 fineness places this issue among the purer gold coinages of the period, consistent with the archbishopric's longstanding mint standards despite the surrounding political chaos. Wamboldt died in 1647, the year before the Peace of Westphalia.
