Comment
M.-T.389Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Maximilian I 1597 (1597-1612) coin from Teutonic Order (German States) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a crowned eagle holding a shield with the Teutonic Order's cross, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a banner with the motto "In Hoc Signo Vinces" (In this sign, you will conquer), which was a reference to the legendary Labarum, a symbol of the Roman Empire. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during the late Renaissance period.
