Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) is that it features an image of John George von Brandenburg Ansbach, who was the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach from 1614 to 1617. This coin was minted during his reign and bears his likeness on one side, while the other side features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Jägerndorf. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history, made even more unique by its gold composition and minimal weight.
