Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.00g is that it was minted during the reign of August II, also known as August the Strong, who was the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland from 1694 to 1733. August II was known for his military campaigns and his love of art and architecture, and his reign saw the construction of many notable buildings and landmarks throughout Saxony. The coin itself is a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
