Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 7 Ducats - Rudolf II 1611 coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Habsburg dynasty, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on this particular coin may have been a deliberate choice to emphasize the connection between the Habsburgs and the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace.
