Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar, which was a small state in present-day Germany. The coin features an image of William IV, the reigning duke at the time, and the Williamsburg Castle, which was a prominent landmark in the region. The coin's design reflects the Renaissance style that was popular during this period, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
