Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Johann Franz von Trautson-Falkenstein 1636 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Trautson family crest, which was added to the coin's obverse (front) side. This crest is a symbol of the Counts of Trautson, who were a powerful noble family in the Austrian States during the 17th century. The inclusion of this crest on the coin highlights the close connection between the Trautson family and the minting of the coin, and serves as a testament to the family's influence and power during that time period.
