Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ernest I, who was the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha from 1826 until his death in 1844. He was a member of the House of Wettin, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled several German states, including Saxony, for centuries. The coin's design features an image of Ernest I on one side and the coat of arms of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage throughout Europe.
