| Beschrijving keerzijde | The entire field is occupied by a seven-line German-language devotional inscription in large, bold capital letters reading GOTT / SICH / UND / DEM NÆCHSTEN / GETREU / WEIM. U. EISEN. / 1748, translating as 'Faithful to God, oneself, and one's neighbour.' A horizontal line separates the main motto from the lower two lines, which record the abbreviated dual territorial designation Weimar and Eisenach and the date 1748. The lettering is deeply struck and fills the field without additional decorative elements, giving the reverse a typographic character characteristic of German pattern or Probemünze issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pattern coinages in tin were a common method used by smaller German states to test dies before committing to a gold striking — this piece almost certainly served that function, with the ducat denomination implying an intended gold issue that may or may not have followed. Ernest August I Constantine ruled Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1728 until his death in 1748, making this a terminal-year issue, struck at the very close of his reign or possibly posthumously as dies were cleared.
The KM# Pn1 designation confirms it as the first catalogued pattern for this issuer, suggesting very limited documentation survives.
