Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Württemberg-Oels (Silesia) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during Christian Ulrich's reign.
