Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Christian Ernest 1695 from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (German States) coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian imagery and mythological symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the initials "C.E." (for Christian Ernest) surrounded by a wreath, while the reverse side shows a scene of Apollo and Diana flanking a large shield with the coat of arms of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. This blend of Christian and mythological imagery reflects the cultural influences of the time and adds to the coin's historical significance.
