Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) was minted during the reign of Christian, who was the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg from 1665 to 1670. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.7 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce in the region, and it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
