Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Christina 1650 coin from the City of Reval (Swedish Estonia) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery on its reverse side. The coin's design includes a depiction of the crucified Christ, surrounded by symbols of the four evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), as well as a pair of griffins flanking the coat of arms of the City of Reval. This blending of religious and mythological motifs reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the 17th century.
