| Aanvullende informatie |
Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was among the smaller Ernestine duchies, and pattern coinage from its mints is correspondingly rare — produced in tiny numbers for presentation, cabinet placement, or official approval, rarely if ever intended for release. Frederick II had inherited the duchy only in 1691, and this 1704 pattern in silver likely served as a trial or presentation piece against a gold ducat issue, struck at the same diameter and die but in the cheaper metal for proofing or gifting purposes.
The Bannicke and Steguweit references place it firmly within documented Thuringian pattern literature, but appearances at auction remain exceptional.
