Prev. KM#1419Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Ferdinand III (Prague) 1638-1640 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the kingdom was struggling to rebuild and maintain its power. Despite these challenges, 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 mint masters and artisans of the time.
