Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1753-1758 Francis Josias 1/24 Thaler from Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the symbols of the House of Saxony and the House of Wettin, which were the ruling families of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld at the time. This coat of arms was specifically designed for the coin and is not found on any other coins from the region, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
