Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, which was minted between 1621 and 1622, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin bears the portraits of two rulers, John Casimir and John Ernest II, who were brothers and co-rulers of the duchy. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that era, and it symbolized the unity and cooperation between the two rulers.
