Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat coin from Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg is that it features an image of Frederick I, who was the first duke of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and ruled from 1682 to 1684. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his likeness on one side, while the other side features the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern European numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
