Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Charles II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn 1672-1693 from Bishopric of Olomouc (Kingdom of Bohemia) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in European history. The coin was minted in 1672, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Europe, including the Kingdom of Bohemia. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design. This coin is a testament to the resilience and skill of the craftsmen who created it, despite the challenges they faced during that time.
