Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick III, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, while the reverse features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy. What's interesting is that the coat of arms on the reverse was designed by Frederick III himself, who was known for his interest in heraldry and numismatics. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was both designed and issued by a single ruler, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
