Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1764 1/12 Reichsthaler from Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of Francis Josias, the reigning duke at the time, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and many German states, including Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, began to issue their own coins. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was also a common practice during this period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions.
