Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Ernest August II Constantine, the Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, on one side, and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic development in the region, and it is a unique piece of history that has survived to this day.
