Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, as World War I was raging across the continent. Despite the war, the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach continued to produce commemorative coins, including this one honoring William Ernest, the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1901 until his death in 1923. The coin's design features an image of William Ernest on one side and the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy on the other, symbolizing the enduring legacy of the Grand Duchy's ruling family even in the face of war and upheaval.
