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 the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, while the reverse side features an image of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child, surrounded by the inscription "Mater Dei" (Mother of God). This blending of secular and religious imagery reflects the complex political and religious landscape of Europe during the 17th century.
