11/2 Pfennig - Frederick III

Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was one of the smaller Ernestine duchies produced by the relentless subdivision of Wettin territory, and Frederick III ruled it for over four decades — long enough that his minor copper coinage accumulated across multiple emission years. The 1½ Pfennig denomination itself is a peculiarity of the fragmented German monetary landscape of the period, where local duchies issued fractional values that made little sense outside their own borders.

KM#269 is among the more obscure emissions of his reign, with no recorded major die varieties.
