Interesting fact
The 20 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, minted in 1565 during the reign of Albert V, is a rare and valuable collector's item. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach, the ruling dynasty of Bavaria at the time. This shield is placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin, and is a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
