Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Ernest August II Constantine, who was the Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1741 until his death in 1758. He was known for his military career and his efforts to modernize the duchy, and his portrait on the coin reflects his importance in the history of the region.
