The portrait is rendered in high relief in the baroque style typical of early eighteenth-century German coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1717 Reformation bicentenary was one of the most politically charged commemorative moments in Lutheran Germany. Dozens of Protestant states issued medals and coins simultaneously, making the collective output of that year an unusually dense documentary record of which territories were asserting their confessional identity most loudly. Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld's participation placed the duchy firmly in that camp.
John Ernest IV was seventeen years old at the time of issue, ruling under regency.
