Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1747-1748 Francis Josias 1/24 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "FJ" (for Francis Josias) located 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.
