| Beschrijving keerzijde | An ornate baroque sarcophagus or funeral monument rendered in high relief occupies the center of the field, surmounted by an elaborate cartouche bearing a crowned coat of arms flanked by foliate scrollwork. A six-line Latin dedicatory inscription is engraved within a recessed panel on the face of the sarcophagus, recording the filial piety and fraternal concord of the surviving princes. The circular legend COELO REDVX INTAMINATIS FVLGET HONORIBVS runs around the periphery. The entire composition is a fine example of German baroque funerary numismatic art, with the sarcophagus resting on a stepped plinth decorated with lion-paw feet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Ernest IV ruled Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld for less than three years before dying in 1729 at age twenty-six, leaving no legitimate heir. His death triggered a succession absorbed by his brother Franz Josias, and this thaler — struck as a memorial issue — was among the last coins bearing his name. Death thalers of short-reigning Saxon dukes were a well-established minting tradition by this point, sometimes produced in greater quantities than anything struck during the prince's actual reign.
The Coburg mint's output for this type was limited, and the multiple catalog concordances suggest sustained collector interest across the 19th and 20th centuries rather than any particular rarity driving the references.
