Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued in 1610, just a few years after the Protestant Reformation had swept through Europe, leading to religious conflicts and political upheaval. Additionally, the coin was minted during a time of economic growth and trade, as the region was an important center for the production of textiles, metalworking, and other goods. The coin itself is made of gold and weighs 1.71 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item today.
