Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Johann Christian, the Duke of Krummau, while the reverse side features an image of St. George slaying a dragon, which is a common motif in medieval European art and symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Additionally, the coin's gold content and weight of 35 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
