Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Bernhard III, the last reigning duke of Saxe-Meiningen, who passed away on April 10, 1914. The coin was issued in 1915, and it features an image of Bernhard III on one side and the coat of arms of Saxe-Meiningen on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and the weight of 11.111 grams were also symbolic choices, as silver was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time, and the weight of the coin was meant to represent the duke's legacy and impact on the region.
