Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1614 Charles the Posthumous 2 Ducats coin from the Bishopric of Brixen (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Brixen, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the coin's origin and authenticity. This feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
