1 Ducat - Maximilian II Prague

Maximilian II held the Bohemian crown reluctantly within the broader framework of Habsburg dynastic obligation, and his religious ambivalence — he privately sympathized with Lutheranism while publicly maintaining Catholic observance — made his reign in Bohemia a careful balancing act. The Prague mint was active and well-staffed during this period, producing ducats that circulated widely in Central European trade networks where the denomination functioned as a de facto international currency.

The Diet reference designation traces to the standard Bohemian gold coinage corpus. Examples from 1568 are encountered, though not abundantly.
