Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach was a small state in what is now Germany, and it was facing significant political and economic challenges during the reign of Charles Frederick (1840-1848). Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Grand Duchy remained consistent and of high quality, with the 2 Thalers / 3½ Gulden coin being a prime example. It was made of silver (.900) and weighed 37.12 grams, making it a substantial and valuable coin for its time.
