Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Matthias II (Prague) 1613-1619 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, was a conflict that involved many European powers and had a profound impact on the region. Despite this, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the 10 Ducats coin being issued throughout the war years. This speaks to the resilience and stability of the Bohemian monetary system during a period of great upheaval.
