Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is that it features an image of Ernest I, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire had recently been dissolved and many German states were struggling to maintain their independence and power. Despite this, the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was able to maintain its sovereignty and issue its own currency, which is a testament to its resilience and economic strength during this time.
