Comment
KOR 88.2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach is that it features a unique combination of co-rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of John Casimir and John Ernest, who were brothers and co-rulers of the duchy from 1598 to 1599. This is a distinctive feature, as it is not common to see two rulers depicted together on a single coin.
