Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Kreuzers - Johann Christian and Georg Rudolf 1605-1612 from Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on one coin. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Johann Christian, the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg, while the reverse side features the image of Georg Rudolf, the Duke of Liegnitz-Brieg and Governor of Silesia. This dual leadership representation on a single coin is a distinctive feature of this particular coin and sets it apart from other coins of its time.
