Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is that it features a unique design element - the number 3 is depicted on both sides of the coin. This double-sided design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, George Rudolf, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
