Comment
F.u.S. 1960Interesting fact
The 6 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1674, during the reign of George Wilhelm, and it features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the traditional copper coins that were commonly used at the time, and it reflects the growing wealth and influence of the region. Additionally, the coin's design and symbolism reflect the cultural and political ties between the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg and other European powers, making it a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians.
