Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1½ Pfennig coin from the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruling Grand Duke at the time, on one side, and a depiction of the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1830 and was made of copper, weighing 2.9 grams. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and was used for everyday transactions.
