Comment
KOR 39.2, Schnee 174Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of John Casimir and John Ernest, who were both dukes of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach during the period 1587-1598. This double portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers. It is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians.
