Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Ferdinand II (Olmutz) 1629 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which was not commonly used on coins of that time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Habsburg dynasty. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item.
