Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Liechtenstein family, which was added to the coin's obverse side to commemorate Jakob Ernst von Liechtenstein's rule as the Bishop of Olomouc.
