Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach was one of the many German states that were undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization during the early 19th century. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency that could facilitate trade and commerce across the region.
