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 1805 and was made of Billon, a type of alloy that contains .243 silver. It weighs 1.5 grams and is considered a standard circulation coin.
