Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Heinrich 1642 from Counts of Schlick (Kingdom of Bohemia) gold 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 its inclusion on this particular coin makes it stand out among other coins of the time.
