Aanvullende informatie

Jílové, south of Prague, was among Bohemia's oldest gold-producing districts, with documented extraction dating to the 14th century under Charles IV. By the early 18th century output had declined sharply, but the mines were periodically revived under Habsburg patronage — these multi-ducat presentation pieces were struck partly as ceremonial proof of continued production, using gold refined directly from Jílové ore. The legend identifying the mine's origin is what separates this type from standard imperial ducats of the period.

Charles VI issued comparable mining ducats from other Bohemian districts, but the Jílové pieces in the 5-ducat weight are considerably scarcer than their single-ducat counterparts, reflecting limited ore yield in that particular revival year.
