The Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach consisted of over a dozen non-contiguous territories in central Germany. After the unification of Germany it issued few coins. This 1910 3 Mark of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach commemorates the wedding of Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernest to Princess Fedora. It was the Duke's second marriage. The Duke's first wife died after 18 months, probably by suicide. His marriage to Fedora was not a happy one. Though Fedora was popular with the people, the Duke was not. The Duke was known to be a sadist and was widely hated. He was called "the most unpopular prince in all of Germany". His court was considered to be one of the most stifling and etiquette-driven in Germany, and Weimar was considered to be "the dreariest capital in Europe". The 33mm silver coin depicts the busts of Wilhelm Ernest and Fedora on the obverse. The imperial German Eagle is on the reverse. The coin has a lettered edge. It has a mintage of only 133,000 and was struck in Berlin. It is an attractive coin from an unpopular monarch.

Nice to have the story behind the coin but I'm confused
on one point. It states that Ernest and Fedora are on the
Obverse but the coin only shows Ernest.
