Interesting fact
The 5 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, minted in 1765 during the reign of Ernest Frederick, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the duke, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a crown of laurel leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's role as a wise and just ruler, and the use of oak and laurel leaves was meant to evoke a sense of strength, durability, and victory.
