| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Duke Johann Christian facing right, set within a beaded inner circle with the date appearing at the lower right within the circle. A small imperial orb is positioned at the top of the inner circle. The surrounding legend reads in Latin, with the ruler's full ducal title. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic early seventeenth-century Silesian style, with finely engraved plate armor detail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johann Christian ruled Liegnitz-Brieg jointly with his brother Georg Rudolf until 1621, when the Bohemian crisis following the Battle of White Mountain forced a reckoning across Silesian duchies. The Habsburgs were consolidating control over Protestant Silesian nobles, and multiple-ducat issues from this moment functioned as much as portable wealth reserves — easily convertible, easily hidden — as they did ceremonial pieces.
1622 sits squarely in the currency chaos of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the debasement crisis that gutted Central European silver coinage and drove demand for high-purity gold issues.
