Comment
KOR 132Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach is that it features a unique combination of coats of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms of Saxony is depicted in the first and fourth quarters, while the coat of arms of Coburg and Eisenach are depicted in the second and third quarters, respectively. This design represents the unity of the two duchies under one ruler, John Casimir and John Ernest.
