Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1714 Russian Empire 2 Ducats coin is that it features a unique design element - a double-headed eagle, which symbolizes the unity of the Russian Empire and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This design was specifically chosen by Peter the Great to represent the new political reality of the Russian Empire, which had recently expanded its territories through the Great Northern War. The double-headed eagle motif became a distinctive feature of Russian coinage during this period and continues to be a symbol of Russian power and prestige to this day.
