Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "F.F.A." (Francis Frederick Anthony) inside a wreath. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the number "1" and above the year "1805." This design element was added to the coin to signify the reign of Francis Frederick Anthony, who was the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld from 1800 until his death in 1806. The inclusion of the shield with the initials "F.F.A." makes the coin stand out from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
