Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) was minted during the reign of Ludwig IV (1659-1663) and features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it was used as a standard circulation coin, meaning it was widely used in everyday transactions. This coin is a great example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the minting of coins during this time period.
