Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/48 Thaler coin from the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruling Grand Duke at the time, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1831 and was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, with a weight of 1.063 grams.
