Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Francis Josias, who was the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld from 1745 until his death in 1764. He was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of his duchy, and the minting of this coin may have been part of those efforts.
