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 Napoleon's armies were sweeping across the continent, and the German states were struggling to maintain their independence. Despite this turmoil, the 20 Kreuzers coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
