Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, minted between 1860 and 1868, features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of Bernhard II, the reigning duke at the time, while the reverse side features a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the denomination. This design was a departure from the traditional design used in other German states, which typically featured a crown or other symbols of royalty. This unique design choice was likely a deliberate attempt to emphasize the duchy's independence and distinct identity.
