Comment
Ref. F/S #2134-40, 2142; S/Sch #79-85, 87Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels (Silesia) is that it features a unique double portrait of both Henry III and Charles II, which was a rare design element for coins during that time period.
