Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Groschen coin commemorating Bernhard I (Death) 1706 from Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen (German States) is that it features an image of a skull on the reverse side, which was a common symbol used in the Baroque period to represent mortality and the transience of life.
