Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Johann Christian and Georg Rudolf, on its obverse side. This is a distinctive feature of this coin, as it was not common for coins of that time to have two rulers depicted together. This coin was minted in 1619, during a time of political turmoil in the region, and it is a rare example of a coin that has survived from that era.
