Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, minted in 1808 during the reign of Ernest I, is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a cost-effective way for the mint to produce a large number of coins without using pure silver or gold, which were more expensive metals at the time. This coin is a unique piece of history that provides insight into the economic and monetary systems of the German States during the early 19th century.
