Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Pfennigs - Francis Josias 1751-1752 from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (German States) made of Billon is that it features a unique design element. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a crowned eagle, while the reverse side features a shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. This design was used during the reign of Francis Josias, who was the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld from 1751 to 1752. The use of a crowned eagle on the coin's obverse side was a common motif in German coinage during this time period, symbolizing the power and authority of the ruling dynasty.
