Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, minted in 1598 during the reign of John Casimir and John Ernest, features a unique design element - a stylized portrait of the two dukes on the obverse side, with their names inscribed in Latin on either side of the portrait. This coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and its design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the two ruling dukes.
