Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, minted in 1622 during the reign of John Casimir and John Ernest, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin, indicating that it was widely used in everyday transactions and played an important role in the local economy. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in 1622 makes it a rare and potentially valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in historical coins.
