Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Thaler coin from Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg is that it features an image of Frederick I, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the ruler of the duchy from 1681 to 1688. He was a prominent figure in German history and is remembered for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin's design was likely meant to commemorate his reign and legacy.
