Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is that it features an image of Ernest II, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Germany, as various states were beginning to unify under a single government, which ultimately led to the formation of the German Empire in 1871. Despite this, the coin still maintains a unique and interesting historical significance.
