Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Silver features an image of George Frederick I, who was the Duke of Jägerndorf from 1600 to 1602. What's interesting is that George Frederick I was only 14 years old when he became the Duke, making him one of the youngest rulers in European history. Despite his young age, he was known for his wise leadership and his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region.
