Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Duke Augustus the Younger, who ruled the principality from 1635 to 1666. The coin was minted during his reign, and it's interesting to note that Augustus was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the principality's economy and infrastructure. The coin itself is a reflection of the economic reforms he implemented, as it was minted to promote trade and commerce within the region.
