| Additional information |
Joachim Frederick ruled Liegnitz-Brieg under the increasingly strained conditions of Habsburgs pressing their re-catholicization agenda into Silesia. The small silver Kreuzer denominations struck under his name circulated widely across the fragmented Silesian duchies, where a patchwork of Protestant Piast princes were quietly minting while they still could — the male Piast line in Liegnitz-Brieg would die out entirely by 1675, at which point the Habsburgs absorbed the duchy directly and Silesian autonomous coinage effectively ended.
