| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the interlaced crowned monogram 'MS' (for Magdalena Sibylla), surmounted by a ducal crown rendered in relief. The monogram is composed of large intertwined letters enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin reads 'ICH HABE UBERWUNDEN MS', a devotional inscription meaning 'I have overcome', running along the outer margin of the coin in the characteristic bold lettering of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magdalena Sibylla of Saxe-Weissenfels died in 1668, and her husband Frederick William II of Saxe-Altenburg followed the well-established German Protestant tradition of issuing memorial coinage — Toten- or Gedenkgroschen — to mark the deaths of ruling family members. These issues served a documentary function within the Ernestine branch of the Wettins, who divided and subdivided Thuringia so relentlessly through the 17th century that Saxe-Altenburg itself had only been reconstituted as a separate duchy in 1603. The line died out with Frederick William II himself in 1672, after which the territory passed to Saxe-Gotha.
