Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Sede Vacante 1724 coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishop of Liege, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1724 issue was likely done to signify the change in leadership within the Prince-bishopric. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a coin that has been minted with a specific design element to commemorate a significant event or change in leadership.
