Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg, issued in 1678 during the reign of Julius Francis, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy on one side, and the reverse side shows the denomination and year of issue. This coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that time period.
