| Beschrijving keerzijde | A radiant celestial scene dominates the field, with a ducal or royal crown suspended amid billowing clouds at upper center, beneath which rays of divine light emanate downward. A displayed eagle with spread wings occupies the central zone beneath the crown, rendered with fine detail. Below the eagle, a terrestrial globe rests in the lower field. The entire composition is framed by a continuous Latin legend around the circumference, with an additional Latin inscription in the lower exergue area. |

Christian Ernest of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld died in 1745 after a reign of just three years, having succeeded his father Johann Ernst at a moment when the small duchy was already financially strained by its obligations under the Holy Roman Empire. This piece was struck as a pattern in silver rather than gold — a cost-saving substitution that was not uncommon for minor German courts issuing memorial coinages they lacked the treasury to produce properly in the intended metal.
Francis Josias, who commissioned the issue, would himself die the following year, leaving the ducal line in further dynastic flux.
