Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from Saxe-Altenburg is that it features a unique double portrait of both John Philip and Frederick William II, who were co-rulers of the duchy at the time. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that era and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectible value.
