Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "LF" (for Louis Frederick) surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the main image of the Duke. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it easily identifiable to collectors.
