| Beschrijving keerzijde | Ornate quartered coat of arms of Liegnitz-Brieg within elaborate baroque cartouche, surmounted by a crested helm bearing the Piast eagle displayed, with a second smaller shield at the crest. The quartered shield displays the checkerboard pattern of Brieg alongside the Silesian eagle, all supported by richly detailed mantling that fills the field. A mintmaster's mark and the date 610 (for 1610) appear to the left of the arms within the beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend DVC·SIL·LIG·/ET·BREG·610·CT runs between the beaded border and the outer rim, identifying the dukes of Silesia, Liegnitz, and Brieg. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johann Christian and Georg Rudolf were the two eldest sons of Joachim Friedrich of Liegnitz-Brieg, who died in 1602 leaving the duchy under a prolonged regency. By 1610, the brothers had assumed joint rule — a co-rulership arrangement that was itself a political compromise forced by Hohenzollern and Habsburg pressure on Silesian succession rights. Multiple-ducat presentation pieces of this type were not circulating currency; they were diplomatic instruments, given as gifts to secure alliances or mark ceremonial occasions, which is precisely why survivors tend to appear in cabinet condition rather than worn.
The Friedensburg reference places this among a tightly documented series of Silesian gold issues, with only a handful of confirmed examples recorded across major collections.
