Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of two dukes, John Casimir and John Ernest II, on opposite sides of the coin. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, who were brothers and co-regents of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach.
