Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels (Silesia) is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reigns of four different rulers: Joachim, Henry II, John, and George II, which suggests that the coin was minted over a period of several years or even decades. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
