Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Teschen (Silesia) featuring Elizabeth Lucretia (1649-1650) is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Elizabeth Lucretia, while the reverse side bears an image of the coat of arms of the Duchy of Teschen. What's interesting is that the coat of arms features a pair of eagle's wings, which were added to the design to symbolize the duchy's connection to the Habsburg Empire. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a unique piece of numismatic history.
