Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of Francis Frederick Anthony, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1804 and was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was commonly used for coins during that time period. Despite its small weight of 1.5 grams, this coin is a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the German States during the early 19th century.
