Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Bernard, one of the three brothers depicted on the coin, who died in 1639. The coin's design features the three brothers, William and his two brothers, on one side, and an image of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar's coat of arms on the other. The coin's silver content and weight, 34.22g, also make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
