Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Maximilian I ND (1612) coin from the Teutonic Order (German States) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts Maximilian I, the Holy Roman Emperor, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, while the reverse side features a representation of the double-headed eagle, a symbol of the Teutonic Order.
