Dudik 259Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - John Caspar II of Ampringen 1666 coin is that it features an image of the Teutonic Order's coat of arms on one side, which includes a cross and a pair of swords. This symbolism represents the military and religious nature of the Teutonic Order, a German military order that was founded in the 12th century to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the Order's history and significance during that time period.
