Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, minted between 1828 and 1832, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a bust of Bernhard II, the reigning duke at the time, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's commitment to the prosperity and strength of his duchy, and it adds a unique touch to the coin's appearance.
