Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick III, the reigning duke at the time, while the reverse bears the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. What's interesting is that the coat of arms includes a depiction of a lion, which was a symbol of strength and courage in the region. The lion is shown holding a shield with the letters "S" and "G" on either side, representing the combined territories of Saxony and Gotha. This design was used on many coins issued by the duchy during Frederick III's reign, making it a distinctive feature of the era's numismatics.
