One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of Ernest August Constantin, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and a depiction of the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in the region, and its design reflects the influences of the Enlightenment and the rise of modernity in Europe during the 18th century.
