Comment
Coin has two KM numbers due to fact that it can be found both within Bohemia section and Austria section of Krause catalogue.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Josef II (Prague) 1769-1779 from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Gold is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Habsburg Monarchy. This coin was part of a series of reforms he implemented to standardize coinage across the empire, and it features his portrait on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other.
