Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Gold (.986) weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John George (Klippe), who was the Duke of Jägerndorf from 1613 to 1654. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during a time when silver coins were more commonly used in circulation. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Jägerndorf on one side and the image of John George on the other, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
