| Obverse lettering | MONETA NOVA DUCUM SAXONIAE HENNEBERGICA 1696 |
| Reverse description | A crowned hen standing to the right atop a mound of eggs, set within an ornate wreath of oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The central device references the Henneberg heraldic tradition, with the hen serving as the county's principal symbol. The circular Latin legend surrounding the wreath reads in full, with the mint-master initials B A positioned at the bottom of the coin, below the wreath tie. The overall composition is executed in a bold, high-relief baroque engraving style characteristic of late seventeenth-century German thaler coinage. |
