Comment
(l) Crescent under star - mintmaster Benedikt HuebinerInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted during the reign of Matthias II (1611-1612) in Prague, is made of gold and features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes an image of the king on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. However, what makes this coin truly unique is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coin's production was likely affected by the conflict. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Bohemia during a time of great upheaval.
