Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the duchy, which is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was used on many coins during Francis Josias' reign, but the 1/24 Thaler coin is one of the smallest denominations to feature this detailed design.
