Interesting fact
The 2 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, minted between 1841 and 1844, features an interesting design element - the obverse side bears the image of Ernest I, the reigning duke at the time, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy. This design was a departure from the previous coinage of the duchy, which had featured a more traditional design with a crowned head on both sides. This change in design was likely done to emphasize the authority and power of the duke, and to distinguish the coinage of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha from other German states.
