Comment
Minted in Złoty Stok.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - one of Johann Christian, the Duke of Liegnitz, and the other of Georg Rudolf, the Duke of Brieg. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that time period, and it signifies the unity and cooperation between the two dukes and their territories.
