Comment
K/O/R 308, Schnee 210Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, minted in 1629 during the reign of John Casimir, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin phrase "SAXONIAE DUCATUS" (Duchy of Saxony) is misspelled as "SAXONIAE DUCATU" (Duchy of Saxony's). This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
