F/S#1864.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of King George III of England, who passed away on January 29, 1820. The coin was issued by the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg, which was a small state in Silesia, a region in Central Europe that is now part of Poland. Despite being a relatively small and obscure coin, it is still considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
