Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1746-1747 Francis Josias 1/12 Reichsthaler from Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "FJ" (for Francis Josias) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
