Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, minted in 1722 during the reign of John Ernest VIII, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy on one side, and the reverse side shows the value and year of minting. This coin was made of silver, which was a common material for coins during that time period. Additionally, this coin has a unique historical significance as it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, with the Holy Roman Empire having been dissolved just a few decades prior.
