Reverse description Four half-length portrait figures of the remaining four Ernestine brothers — Johann Friedrich, Ernst, Friedrich Wilhelm, and Bernhard — are shown facing forward within a wreath border, similarly attired in court dress with ruffs and decorative armor. A rectangular cartouche in the lower field bears the legend LINEAE·VINA / RIENSIS· / [date] W·A, identifying the Weimar line (Linea Vinariensis) and incorporating the engraver's initials W·A for Wolf Albrecht along with the year of issue. Small heraldic shields punctuate the circumferential Latin legend which names the four brothers. At the base of the wreath, a decorative rosette ornament is visible. The reverse design mirrors the obverse in artistic style, forming a unified dynastic statement across both sides of the coin.
