Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Julius Francis 1673-1683 from Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg (German States) coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, on its reverse side. Fortuna is depicted standing on a rock, holding a rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolizing the prosperity and good fortune of the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg. This image was a common motif on coins of the time, and it represents the hopes and aspirations of the people of the Duchy for a prosperous and successful future.
