Interesting fact
The ½ Groschen coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (German States) is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Ernest I, who was the first Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and a member of the House of Wettin. He ruled from 1826 until his death in 1844, and his coinage reforms, including the introduction of the ½ Groschen coin, helped to standardize the currency across the German states.
