| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermann Werner von Metternich ruled Paderborn from 1683 until his death in 1704, a tenure marked by aggressive rebuilding after the devastation of the Thirty Years' War had left the bishopric's finances and infrastructure badly compromised for decades. Multiple-ducat presentation pieces of this kind were not struck for circulation — they functioned as diplomatic gifts and marks of princely favor, and survival in any condition is accordingly rare. The 7-ducat denomination in particular had no transactional role; the weight itself was the point.
