Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, minted in 1809 during the reign of Ernest I, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the reverse side. This lion symbol was a common motif in the heraldry of the Saxon duchy and represented the strength and power of the ruling dynasty.
