| Aanvullende informatie |
Bernhard I of Saxe-Meiningen died in 1706 after ruling for only fourteen years, having inherited the duchy as part of the 1681 division of Saxe-Gotha among the seven sons of Ernest the Pious. These memorial groschen were a standard practice among the Ernestine branches — death coins struck quickly after a ruler's passing, serving both as dynastic announcement and as a vehicle for whatever silver the small court could mobilize on short notice. Saxe-Meiningen was among the smallest and least wealthy of the partition states, which kept mintage figures modest across all its issues.
