Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "G" in the center, which represents the name of the ruling duke, George II. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the duchy, adding an extra layer of detail and symbolism to the coin's design.
