Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Christian 1682 from Duchy of Saxe-Eisenberg (German States) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian imagery and symbolism. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Duke Christian of Saxe-Eisenberg, while the reverse side features an image of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child surrounded by angels. This blending of religious and secular themes was a common practice in the German States during the 17th century, and this coin is a prime example of that trend.
