| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three elaborately crested helmets surmount a large baroque shield bearing a quartered coat of arms representing the territorial holdings of the Piast dukes of Liegnitz-Brieg and Wohlau. The heraldic composition is rendered in the ornate Baroque style typical of mid-seventeenth-century Silesian coinage, with the helmet plumes fanning outward above the shield. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running around the circumference. The date 1656 appears incorporated at the conclusion of the reverse legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1656 thaler commemorates the joint rule of three Piast dukes — George III, Ludwig IV, and Christian — over the fragmented Silesian territories of Liegnitz and Brieg. The Piast line in Silesia was by this point a dynasty in terminal decline, ruling diminished enclaves under Habsburg suzerainty while the broader Silesian lands had been absorbed piecemeal since the Bohemian inheritance of 1526. George III died the following year, and Christian — the last male Piast of the Liegnitz-Brieg line — died in 1672, after which the duchy reverted directly to Habsburg control.
Three-portrait thalers of this type were struck in limited quantities and survive less frequently than single-ruler issues from the same mint.
