Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of co-rulers, John Casimir and John Ernest, who jointly ruled the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach from 1612 to 1619. This is reflected in the coin's design, which includes both of their names and portraits on opposite sides of the coin. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a period of co-rule, making it a valuable piece for collectors of historical coins.
