Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique double portrait of Christian Ernest and Francis Josias, the two ruling dukes at the time. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single-portrait design commonly used on coins and was a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
