Interesting fact

The 3 kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, minted in 1622 during the reign of John Casimir and John Ernest (also known as Kipper), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of wealth and power, and it was often used to mint coins for important transactions and trade. The fact that this coin was made of silver speaks to the economic and political significance of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach during this time period.
