Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg is that it features an image of Ernest II Louis, 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 dissolving and many German states were becoming independent. The coin's design reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
