Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of Charles Alexander, the ruling grand duke at the time, on one side, and a depiction of the Grand Ducal crown on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany, and its design reflects the shift towards more modern and secular values. Despite being made of copper, which was a relatively common metal at the time, the coin was still considered a valuable and important form of currency, and it remains a sought-after collector's item today.
