Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ernest (Baptism) 1670 coin from Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg is that it features an image of Ernest, the baptized infant, surrounded by allegorical figures and symbols, including a putto (cherub) holding a banner with the date of his birth, and a female figure representing the river Saale, which runs through the region. This coin was minted to commemorate the baptism of Ernest, who later became the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
