Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg is that it features an image of Frederick I, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the ruler of the duchy from 1680 to 1688. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the duchy, and his image on the coin reflects his importance in the history of the region.
