Comment
Ref. F/S#3063.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Groschens coin from the Duchy of Teschen (Silesia) is that it features an image of Frederick William, the ruler of the region, on one side, and a depiction of the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1624 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this period, as it was a symbol of wealth and stability. The fact that this coin has survived for centuries and is still in circulation today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring value of silver as a precious metal.
