Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) minted during the reign of George Frederick I (1600-1602) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The fact that it weighs 14.38 grams also speaks to the precision and attention to detail that was put into its production. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of George Frederick I on one side and the Jägerndorf coat of arms on the other, showcases the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time.
