Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg from 1675 until his death in 1689. He was a prominent figure in German history and is remembered for his military campaigns and his support of the arts and sciences. The coin's design likely reflects his image and legacy.
