Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is that it features an image of Ernest I, 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 economic and political change in Germany, as the various states were in the process of forming the German Confederation, which would eventually lead to the unification of Germany in 1871. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Kreuzer coin played an important role in the economy of the time, as it was widely used for everyday transactions and helped to facilitate trade and commerce within the duchy and beyond.
