Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.E." (for John Ernest II) placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
