Interesting fact
The 2 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Gold (.986) weighing 7 g features an interesting fact: it has a unique minting error, known as a "clipped planchet," where the planchet (the blank piece of metal before it's struck into a coin) was cut incorrectly, resulting in a slightly irregular shape. This error can be seen on the coin's obverse (front) side, where the rim is not perfectly circular. Instead, it has a small notch at the 1 o'clock position. This error adds a unique touch to the coin's character and makes it stand out among other coins from the same series.
