Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach was one of the German states that adopted the gold standard in the late 19th century, and this coin was minted as part of that effort. The coin's gold content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure that it had a consistent value and could be easily exchanged for other currencies. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
