Comment
Second type later, like the thalers after 1690.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Leopold I (Hall) ND (1680-1690) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705 and was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the empire's economy. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system across the empire, and its gold content and intricate design reflect the value and prestige of the Austrian Empire at the time.
