Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennige coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, minted between 1834 and 1835, features an interesting design element - the portrait of Ernest I, the reigning duke at the time, is surrounded by a wreath made of oak leaves and acorns. This design was a nod to the duke's reputation as a wise and just ruler, and the oak leaves were meant to symbolize strength and durability.
