Interesting fact
The 2 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Albert V (1565-1568), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Bavaria on one side, and the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire on the other. This symbolizes the dual authority of the Bavarian dukes as both rulers of their own territory and as members of the Imperial Estate.
