| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned Saxon arms — a quartered shield bearing the distinctive barry-of-ten field with a rampant lion in the canton, characteristic of the Wettin dynasty — occupies the central field, surrounded by elaborate interlaced strapwork and foliate cartouche ornaments in the Baroque manner. The heraldic shield is surmounted by a ducal crown. The circumferential Latin motto legend VIGILANTER ET CONSTANTER, meaning 'Watchfully and Steadfastly', runs around the periphery together with the date 1700, all within a beaded border. The overall composition is boldly struck and emblematic of the fine die-cutting tradition of Thuringian mints at the close of the seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John William ruled Saxe-Eisenach for barely a decade before the line extinguished with his death in 1741, at which point the duchy reverted to Saxe-Weimar under the Ernestine inheritance system that had been parceling and reuniting Thuringian territories since the 1485 Leipzig partition. Ducats of his reign are scarce simply because the duchy was small — Eisenach's mint output never approached that of the wealthier Ernestine branches at Gotha or Weimar.
Fr#2916 confirms this as a Franconia-catalogued rarity, with few examples documented in major collections.
