Comment
KOR 218, Bornemann 24Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of John Casimir and John Ernest, who were both dukes of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach in the early 17th century. This period saw the rise of the bourgeoisie and the development of new trade routes, which led to an increase in the demand for coinage. As a result, the 1 Pfennig coin was minted in large quantities to meet the growing need for small denomination currency. Despite its relatively low value, the coin is now highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
