Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Heinrich 1634 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Counts of Schlick, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and it was specifically added to signify the coin's connection to the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Counts of Schlick. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
