| Aanvullende informatie |
George Ernest ruled Henneberg-Schleusingen as its last count of the direct line, and the extended date range on this issue reflects a reign defined more by dynastic anxiety than political stability. He died in 1583 without a male heir, triggering the partition of the county among several Wettin branches under terms negotiated long before his death — a succession crisis he spent decades trying to forestall through both diplomacy and a series of failed marriages.
The Davenport reference places this among the broader German Taler coinage of the mid-sixteenth century, but Henneberg issues of this period are notably thin on the secondary market. Small territorial mints operating under uncertain dynastic futures rarely produced in volume.
