Comment
F.u.S. 1601Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1622, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War had begun, which had a profound impact on the economy and trade in the region. Despite the challenges of this time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that reflect the cultural and artistic traditions of the time.
