Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1753 1/24 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy on the reverse side, which was not present on earlier coins of the same denomination. This addition was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Christian Weyse, to distinguish the coin from other similar coins in circulation.
