Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features a unique blend of Catholic and Protestant imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts Franz von Dietrichstein, the Bishop of Olomouc, in elaborate robes and a mitre, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which includes a Protestant-style shield with the Bohemian lion. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious landscape of the time and the efforts of the Bishopric to maintain religious harmony in the region.
