| Additional information |
Albert III ruled Saxe-Coburg for barely a decade before the duchy was absorbed into the broader Ernestine Saxon redistribution following his death in 1699. The 1/24 Thaler denomination — the Groschen equivalent in the imperial reckoning system — was the workhorse of small commerce in the fragmented German states, and Coburg's output during these years was modest by any measure. Grasser's cataloguing of this type remains the authoritative reference for the Ernestine series, the KOR concordance adding cross-identification for collectors navigating the overlapping territorial issues of the 1690s.
