Comment
Ref: F/S#1624.Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coin was likely used to help finance the military efforts of the Duchy. Additionally, the coin features an image of George Rudolf, the ruler of the Duchy at the time, which makes it a unique piece of historical memorabilia.
