Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Achtbrüdertaler" coin is that it features a unique design element - a small portrait of each of the eight dukes of Saxe-Weimar, who ruled the duchy simultaneously, surrounding the main image of John Ernest IV on the obverse. This distinctive feature represents the unity and cooperation among the ruling family members during that time.
