Comment
Mintmaster Christoph BretschneiderInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Ducats - Christian (Brieg) 1666-1672 coin is that it features an image of the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg's coat of arms on one side, which includes a shield with a crowned eagle and a lion. This symbolizes the duchy's connection to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its status as a vassal state.
