Comment
Ref. F/S#1759, 1768-69, 1778. Varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: George III, Ludwig IV, and Christian. This is unusual because coins typically feature only one ruler, and it suggests that this coin was issued during a time of political complexity or transition. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) makes it a rare and valuable collector's item.
