Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Gold (.986) weighing 1.69 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John George, who was the Duke of Jägerndorf from 1615 to 1622. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during the early 17th century in the Duchy of Jägerndorf, which was a small region in the eastern part of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Duchy on one side and the image of John George on the other, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Europe during that time period.
