Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Ludwig IV in 1661, and it features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the region and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
