Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Eisenach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, to which William Henry belonged. This shield is located on the obverse side of the coin, beneath the king's name. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, and highlights the importance of the Wettin dynasty in the region's history.
