The surrounding Latin legend is divided by decorative stops and reads continuously around the inner circle. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick II ruled Liegnitz-Brieg during the critical decades when Silesian dukes were navigating the competing pressures of Habsburg overlordship and the spread of Lutheranism through the region. Frederick himself was an early adopter of Protestant reform, introducing Lutheran doctrine to his territories in the 1520s — a politically fraught move given that Silesia remained nominally under Catholic Habsburg suzerainty. Ducats of this period served the dynasty's need to project legitimacy and fiscal seriousness at a moment when its autonomy was perpetually under negotiation.
The 1543 date places this coin just four years before Frederick's death in 1547, the same year Charles V crushed the Schmalkaldic League at Mühlberg.
