| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the quartered arms of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, consisting of the barry of ten or and sable of Saxony with a rampant green crancelin, impaled with the fields of Gotha and Altenburg, all surmounted by a ducal crown. The shield is flanked on either side by a decorative palm or laurel branch, lending a heraldic and baroque character to the design. The coin bears no peripheral legend on this face, with the armorial composition occupying the full field within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg was among the most administratively peculiar of the Ernestine duchies — Frederick II ruled a territory so fragmented by the division of 1680 that coherent fiscal policy was nearly impossible. Small copper heller struck in the mid-1690s filled a genuine gap in daily transaction coinage, the silver groschen being too valuable for most market exchanges in an agrarian economy.
The two-year production window of 1695–96 suggests a single authorized issue rather than ongoing mintage, consistent with how the smaller Thuringian courts managed copper: in batches, when local need demanded it.
