Sharply struck portrait with an abundance or original mint luster. <B>NGC graded MS-64.</B> <BR><BR>Liegnitz and Brieg are two of the Silesian duchies that were united and separated over and over again. Prior to the minting of this coin, they were united in 1596 and then separated in 1602. Thus, Joachim Friedrich could only claim to be duke of both areas for six years. This rarity is as nice as could possibly be found. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,500-4,000. <I><BR>The Dr. Jacob Terner Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 109406<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/109406.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/ liveauction/41jpegs/109406N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
