Comment
Probst and Weiller mention a variant for the year 1786 whose legend on the right does not end with a point (L#254-1 / W#244 b./a.)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Sols coin from the Duchy of Luxembourg is that it was minted during the reign of Joseph II, who was a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790. This coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1786 and 1789, and features an image of Joseph II on one side and the coat of arms of Luxembourg on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 5.22 grams also make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
