Interesting fact
The 1773 Ernest II Louis 1/24 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled several German states, including Saxony, for over 800 years.
