Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (German: Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld) was one of the Saxon Duchies held by the Ernestine line of the Wettin Dynasty. Established in 1699, the Saxe-Coburg-Saalfield line lasted until the reshuffle of the Ernestine territories that occurred following the extinction of the Saxe-Gotha line in 1825, in which the Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld line received Gotha, but lost Saalfeld to Saxe-Meiningen.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 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 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 military campaigns were reshaping the continent and leading to the formation of new alliances and territories. Despite the turmoil, the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld managed to maintain its independence and cultural identity, as reflected in the design of this coin.
