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's reverse depicts the coat of arms of the Duchy, which includes a shield with the Catholic symbols of a cross and a crescent moon, alongside a Protestant rose and a crown. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious landscape of the region during the early 17th century, when the coin was minted.
