Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1753-1758 Francis Josias 1/12 Reichsthaler from Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of the duke himself on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the importance of the duchy's ruling family and their efforts to maintain their power and influence.
