Comment
This page shares KM number with N408969 but was split due to being different type. It is currently unknown which dates of KM726 constitute which type, only sure dates being 1706 and 1707 for earlier type and 1711 for later type. Due to presumed gap of minting in 1708, variants dated 1709 and 1710 are presumed to be of the later type.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Ducat - Joseph I (Breslau) 1706-1707 coin is that it was minted during the reign of Joseph I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia. This coin was produced at the Royal Mint of Silesia, which was a significant minting facility during the time, and it features an image of Joseph I on one side and the coat of arms of Breslau on the other. The coin's gold content and small weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
