Comment
Mintmaster SP - Samuel Pfahrer (Öls)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Württemberg-Oels (Silesia) is that it features a unique blend of both German and Polish influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Sylvius II Frederick, the Duke of Württemberg-Oels, while the reverse side features the Polish eagle, highlighting the region's cultural connections to Poland. This blend of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire and later became a province of Prussia.
