Comment
Ref. F/S#2975, 77.Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Bielsko (Silesia) featuring Frederick Casimir, minted between 1569 and 1570, is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse side features an image of Frederick Casimir, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Duchy of Bielsko. This design was unusual for coins of that time, as most coins featured the ruler's name or title on the obverse side and the coat of arms on the reverse side. The fact that this coin features the ruler's image on the obverse side and the coat of arms on the reverse side makes it stand out among other coins of the time.
