Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, where the coin was minted, was part of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that was formed in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars. The Confederation was dissolved in 1866, and the coin's mintage period, 1843-1846, falls within this time of transition. This coin may have been used in transactions during this time of change, and its silver content and weight may have been seen as a stable store of value during a period of economic uncertainty.
