Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.E." (for John Ernest VIII) surrounded by a wreath of leaves, which was a personal emblem of the ruler. This coin was minted during his reign (1720-1745) and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
