Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features an image of Francis Frederick Anthony, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1804 and was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Despite its relatively small weight of 2.72 grams, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
