Interesting fact
The 5 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, minted in 1765 during the reign of Ernest Frederick, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features a portrait of the duke, while the reverse side depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German states. The coin's silver content and its design reflect the efforts of the duchy to establish itself as a major player in the region's economy and political landscape.
