Interesting fact
The 3 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is interesting because it features a unique combination of two rulers, John Christian and George Rudolph, on the same coin. This is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of co-rule or joint reign, which was a relatively uncommon practice in the history of coinage.
