Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels (Silesia) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John, who was the Duke of Münsterberg-Oels from 1563 to 1564. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during the Renaissance period in Europe, and its high gold content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
