Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Pfennige - Charles August 1810-1812 from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, German States) made of Copper weighing 7.7 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles August, who was the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1810 to 1812. During his reign, Charles August implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and government of the duchy, which included the introduction of a new currency system. The 4 Pfennige coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the economic and political changes that took place in Germany during the early 19th century.
