Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels and the surrounding region, and it's remarkable that the coin was minted during such a tumultuous period in history.
