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 duchy, which is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was used on many coins during Francis Josias' reign and has become a distinctive feature of coins from this region and time period.
