Interesting fact

The ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Silver weighing 14.07 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Christian, who was the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg from 1666 to 1671. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from that time period and region, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
