| Additional information |
Henneberg had been a jointly administered territory under the Ernestine and Albertine Wettin branches since the county's inheritance in 1583, a fractious arrangement that ground on for generations. The 1661 partition finally divided the territory, with the Meiningen and Römhild lines receiving defined shares — this groschen was struck specifically to commemorate the homage ceremony formalizing that settlement.
Issues tied to specific partition agreements are rarely common; they were produced for the occasion rather than circulation, and the reference alignment across KM, Koppe, and the Merse collection suggests a recognized type with traceable die work rather than a casual provincial strike.
