Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Christian Ulrich von Bernstadt, a prominent nobleman from the Duchy of Württemberg-Oels in Silesia. The coin's design features an image of von Bernstadt on the obverse, while the reverse bears the coat of arms of the Duchy. The use of gold in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 0.81 grams also make it a notable piece in the history of numismatics.
