Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of Ernest I, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the German states were in the process of forming a unified nation. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
