Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld was a small state in what is now Germany, and the coin was minted during the reign of Ernest Frederick, who ruled from 1774 to 1785. This was a period of great political and social upheaval, with the American Revolution and the French Revolution both taking place during this time. Despite these changes, the coin remained a standard circulation coin in the German States, a testament to the stability and continuity of the region's monetary system.
