Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg is that it features an image of August II, also known as August the Strong, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. He was a prominent figure in European politics and military affairs during his time, and his image on the coin reflects his importance in the region.
