Comment
Kopicki 5357 (Thaler); F.u.S. (-) 1768 (Thaler)Probably unique, no catalogue entry.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers on its obverse side: George III, Ludwig IV, and Christian (Brieg). This is a unique feature, as most coins typically feature only one ruler or a single ruling family. The fact that this coin has three different rulers suggests that it may have been issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between the three rulers, or it could be a commemorative coin celebrating a significant event or achievement during their reigns.
