Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - John Nepomuk 1783 coin from the Principality of Schwarzenberg (German States) is that it features an image of Saint John Nepomuk, a Czech saint who was martyred in 1393. He is depicted on the coin because he was revered as a protector of the Bohemian lands, which includes the region where the coin was minted. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Nepomuk Schaller, who was known for his work on various coins and medals during that time period.
