Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) was minted during the reign of John George, who was the Duke of Jägerndorf from 1607 to 1621. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.77 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.
