| Additional information |
Saxe-Meiningen's coinage under Bernhard II was produced under the shadow of the German Customs Union — the Zollverein — which had formally unified tariff policy across most German states from 1834 onward and applied steady pressure toward monetary standardization. Small copper pfennig issues like this one were already an administrative anachronism by the time the dies were cut, their days as sovereign state coinage effectively numbered.
