Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is that it features a unique blend of both Catholic and Protestant imagery on its reverse side. The coin was minted during a time of religious tension between the two faiths, and its design serves as a symbol of the duchy's commitment to religious tolerance and coexistence.
