Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Charles II, the last Duke of Münsterberg-Oels, who passed away in 1617. The coin's design features an image of Charles II on the obverse, and the reverse bears the coat of arms of the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels. The use of gold and the relatively high weight of 7 grams make this coin a valuable and significant piece of numismatic history.
