| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the arms of Saxony, consisting of horizontal barry stripes charged with a diagonal rautenkranz (rue crown), set within an ornate scrollwork cartouche of Baroque style. The initials CP appear above the shield in the upper field, serving as the ruler's monogram. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain field with no additional design elements, consistent with the single-sided hammered pfennig coinage struck for the Duchy of Saxe-Altenburg during the mid-seventeenth century. The reverse displays only the natural metal surface with flan irregularities typical of hand-struck issues of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saxe-Altenburg was partitioned and re-partitioned repeatedly throughout the seventeenth century, and Frederick William II ruled a duchy whose territorial coherence was perpetually uncertain — the line died out entirely in 1672, reverting its lands to Saxe-Gotha. Small silver pfennigs of this period served the grinding daily commerce of a minor German principality still economically devastated by the Thirty Years' War, which had ended only two years before this series began. At 0.23 g, the silver content was negligible even by contemporary standards.
