Struck with 1 Thaler dies, KM#35.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 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 St. George slaying a dragon, which is a common motif in medieval European art and symbolizes the victory of good over evil. This blending of secular and religious imagery reflects the complex political and religious landscape of Europe during the 17th century.
