| Beschrijving voorzijde | A crowned rocky spring issues from the center of the field, with a rose branch to the left and a pendant grape cluster to the right, forming the dynastic impresa of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. The design is contained within a circular border, and a two-line inscription appears in the exergue identifying the issuing duchy. The overall composition is finely engraved in the baroque manner typical of mid-eighteenth-century German gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ernest August I Constantine ruled Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1728 until his death in 1748, making the date range here immediately puzzling — posthumous ducats struck under his name persisted into the reign of his successor Ernst August II, a not uncommon practice in small German courts where die inventory was conserved long past a ruler's death. The duchy was perpetually cash-strained, and recutting or retiring perfectly serviceable gold dies represented an unnecessary expense.
Fr#3033 alignment with Koppe's SW#490 confirms this as the standard ducal weight issue, not one of the rarer multiple-ducat presentation pieces occasionally struck for diplomatic gift-giving at the Weimar court.
