Comment
KM/MB# is attributed to German States > Silesia-Liegnitz-Brieg.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederick II 1543 from Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) coin is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg from 1543 to 1547. He was a member of the House of Piast, a royal dynasty that ruled Poland and other regions in Central Europe for over 800 years. The coin's design includes an inscription in Latin that reads "Friedericus II Dux Lignicensis," which translates to "Frederick II, Duke of Liegnitz." This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its gold content and historical significance make it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
