| Additional information |
Saxe-Eisenberg was among the most short-lived of the Saxon partition duchies, surviving only from 1680 to 1707 before reverting to Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg upon the death of Duke Christian without male heirs. This coin was struck in the final years of that reign, when the duchy's output was already diminishing. The 1⁄96 Thaler denomination — a pfennig-scale billon piece — reflects the subdivision coinage necessitated by the Leipzig Coin Convention of 1690, which attempted to standardize the chaotic small-change situation across the fragmented Saxon territories.
