Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "B" and "M" on either side of the crown, which stands for the name of the ruling duke, Bernhard II, and the name of the duchy, Meiningen. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
