Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Pfennige - Charles August 1813 from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, German States) made of Copper weighing 7.7 g is that it features an image of Charles August, the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, as the Napoleonic Wars were coming to an end and the German states were undergoing significant political and economic transformations. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and its rulers.
