Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of Ernest Frederick, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and many German states, including Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, became independent. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
