Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - John Francis 1724 from Bishopric of Freising (German States) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Fürstbistum Freising" (Prince-Bishopric of Freising). This coin was minted during the reign of Prince-Bishop John Francis of Freising, who was known for his efforts to promote the arts and culture in the region.
