Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Matthias II (Prague) 1611 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which was a rare inclusion on coins of that time. This shield was added to the coin to signify the coin's origin and to show the connection between the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire, of which Matthias II was the Emperor. This small detail highlights the rich history and cultural significance of the coin, making it a truly fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
