| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Silesian eagle displayed, with spread wings and detailed feathering, occupies the central field within a plain raised inner circle. The eagle serves as the primary dynastic and territorial symbol of Silesia. A Latin legend naming the co-ruling dukes Henry Wenceslaus and Charles Frederick runs continuously around the outer rim, separated from the inner circle by a narrow flat field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin falls squarely within the Kipper und Wipper crisis of 1619–1623, one of the most destructive monetary debasements in European history, during which hundreds of petty German and Silesian princes exploited the lack of centralized monetary enforcement to mint vast quantities of underweight, debased small silver. Münsterberg-Oels was among the more aggressive participants. At 0.63 g, this piece contains a fraction of the silver a legitimate 3 Kreuzer demanded by Imperial convention.
Henry Wenceslaus and Charles Frederick I ruled jointly — the coin's joint attribution reflecting the dynastic co-regency structure common among Piast-descended Silesian dukes before the line's extinction in 1647.
