Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of George Wilhelm, who was the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg from 1674 to 1675. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin made of gold, which was not common during that time period. Additionally, the coin's design features the Duke's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
