Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, where the coin was minted, was a small state within the German Empire, and the coin was issued during the reign of George II, who was the last Duke of Saxe-Meiningen before the state was abolished in 1918. This coin is a piece of history that represents a unique moment in time, and its preservation and circulation provide a glimpse into the past.
