Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg is that it features an image of Frederick III, who was the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg from 1741 until his death in 1772. He was known for his enlightened rule and his efforts to promote education, arts, and culture in his duchy. The coin's design, which includes a portrait of Frederick III on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other, reflects the importance of the duke's leadership and legacy during this time period.
