Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's legitimacy and connection to the ruling power.
