Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1788 Silver 1/48 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen is that it features an image of Frederick I, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and an image of the Saxon coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and many German states were becoming independent. The coin's design reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its small size and silver content made it a practical and valuable currency for everyday transactions.
