Francis Josias ruled Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, not Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach — his appearance on a Weimar-Eisenach issue reflects the tangled dynastic administration of the Ernestine Saxon duchies, where coinage rights and territorial governance frequently crossed jurisdictional lines. The 1/12 Thaler denomination was a workhorse of mid-18th century German small commerce, and 1756 places this squarely at the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, a conflict that disrupted minting operations and metal supplies across virtually every Saxon state.
