Comment
Obverse from KM# 21 and Reverse from KM# 20Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1¼ Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg is that it features a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts Francis II, the Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, dressed in elaborate robes and a crown, while the reverse side features a intricately detailed coat of arms surrounded by foliage and other ornaments. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time period in which the coin was minted.
