Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is that it features an image of Ernest II, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, with the rise of industrialization and the fall of feudalism, and it serves as a small but tangible reminder of the complex history of the German states during this period.
