Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand III, while on the other side, it features the coat of arms of the House of Eggenberg, the ruling family of the Duchy of Krummau. This blending of religious and political symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the time and highlights the close relationship between the church and state in the region.
