Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William, who was the Duke of Saxe-Weimar from 1658 to 1661. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, and the German states were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the 1 Dreier coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
