Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the bicentennial of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the ruler of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg from 1732 to 1741. He was a prominent figure in German history and is known for his military campaigns and his contributions to the arts and culture. The coin's design features an image of Frederick II on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg on the other.
