Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg was one of the many German states that were unified under the German Empire in 1871, and this coin was minted just a few years before that unification. It's a piece of history that represents a significant moment in the formation of modern Germany.
