| Additional information |
Johann Christian and Johann Seyfried von Eggenberg were joint rulers of the Duchy of Krummau (Český Krumlov) under a division of the Eggenberg inheritance — an unusual dynastic arrangement that produced some of the most elaborate gold multiples of any Bohemian lordship. The 1654 date places this issue in the aftermath of Westphalia, when the Eggenbergs were consolidating imperial favor earned partly through Johann Ulrich von Eggenberg's close service to Ferdinand II during the Thirty Years' War.
Ten-ducat pieces of this type were almost certainly presentation strikes, not circulating currency. KM#A36 is among the rarest Eggenberg issues recorded.
