Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and reconstruction in the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar. The coin was issued in 1652, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany, including the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar. The coin's design, featuring William, the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, and the reconstruction of the castle, serves as a symbol of the region's resilience and determination to rebuild and thrive in the aftermath of the war.
