Comment
Ref. F/S#3469.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Frederick (Breslau) 1620 coin is that it was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that ravaged much of Europe. Despite the turmoil, the Royal Mint of Silesia continued to produce high-quality coins like this one, which features an image of Duke Frederick of Breslau on one side and the Silesian coat of arms on the other. The coin's gold content and detailed design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
