Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1⁄12 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of Ernest Frederick, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and the German States were formed. The use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, was also a common practice during this time period.
