Interesting fact
The 5 Ducats coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, minted in 1625 during the reign of John Casimir and John Ernest II, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, specifically 19.39 grams of it, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. This coin's gold content and the fact that it was used as a means of exchange in the German States make it a valuable collector's item today.
