Comment
Minted during the rule of Bernhard Erich Freund but under guardianship of Duchess Luise Eleonore.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "B.E.F." (Bernhard Eric Freund) on the reverse side, which was a personal touch added by the coin's designer, Bernhard II. This coin was minted during his reign from 1808 to 1813 and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
