| Additional information |
Ernest August II died in 1748, leaving Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach to his infant son Ernst August Constantin under a regency. The "Hybrid" designation here reflects a mule pairing — obverse and reverse dies from administratively distinct periods or authorities combined in a single strike, a not-uncommon expediency at smaller German mint facilities when die stocks ran low or transitions in lordship created bureaucratic lag in commissioning fresh equipment. By 1757, the duchy was navigating the disruptions of the Seven Years' War, which strained minting operations across the Saxon states.
