Interesting fact
The ¼ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, minted in 1854 during the reign of Bernhard II, features an interesting design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy, while the reverse side features a wreath surrounding the denomination and year of issue. What makes this coin stand out is that the wreath on the reverse is made up of oak leaves, which was a symbol of strength and durability in German culture at the time. This design choice was likely intended to convey the idea of the coin's value being rooted in the strength and stability of the duchy.
