Comment
Struck with 1 Thaler dies, KM#206Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Matthias II (Vienna) 1616 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "M" on the reverse side, which stands for the mintmaster's initial, Melchior von Redern. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's authenticity and to distinguish it from other coins of similar value.
