1 Reichsthaler - John Casimir Sterbetaler

John Casimir of Saxe-Coburg died in July 1633, deep in the misery of the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that had already reduced much of the Thuringian territories to ruin through repeated Swedish, Imperial, and Wallenstein's marauding forces. The Sterbetaler, struck as a memorial death thaler, was a well-established German tradition by this point, but Casimir's example carries particular weight: he died without male heirs, extinguishing his line and triggering the absorption of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach back into the Ernestine Saxon lands.

The Grasser and Slg. Merse references both treat this as a low-survival issue, consistent with the disrupted minting conditions across the Thuringian circle during 1633.
