Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach is that it features an image of Johann Ernest, the ruling Duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the importance of the ruling family and the state's symbolism.
