Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Matthias II (Vienna) 1612 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Austrian Empire. The coin was minted in 1612, just a year after the death of Emperor Rudolf II, who had ruled the empire for over 30 years. This led to a period of political instability, as different factions vied for power and control. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design.
