Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Groschen coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The coin was minted between 1868 and 1870, a period when the German states were in the process of unifying under a single government. This coin, featuring Ernest II, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, was one of the last coins minted before the unification of Germany in 1871.
