Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld features an interesting design element - the portrait of Ernest I, the reigning duke at the time, is depicted facing left, which was a departure from the traditional right-facing portraits seen on most coins. This unique design choice was likely a deliberate decision made by the mint or the duke himself, and it adds a touch of distinctiveness to the coin.
