Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers / 3½ Gulden coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1841, just a few years before the German Confederation was formed, which was a union of 39 German states that aimed to create a unified economic and political system. The coin's design, featuring an image of Bernhard II, the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, and the inscription "Bernhard II, Herzog von Sachsen-Meiningen," reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
