Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen is that it features an image of August Frederick Charles, the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin was minted in 1771 and was made of silver, weighing 0.7 grams. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
