Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from Saxe-Meiningen features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "B" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Bernhard, Herzog von Sachsen-Meiningen" (Bernhard, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen). This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance under the reign of Bernhard II, who ruled the duchy from 1803 to 1866.
