Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Charles August 1804 coin from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of Charles August, the ruling Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1758 to 1828, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and intellectual growth in the region, known as the "Weimar Classical Period," which saw the rise of influential writers, artists, and thinkers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller.
