Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Saxony, which was the ruling dynasty of the duchy at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, and highlights the importance of the ruling family in the history and culture of the region.
