Bernhard II inherited Saxe-Meiningen in 1803 under French imperial pressure and spent decades navigating the fractured sovereignty of the German Confederation. These small copper pieces were struck during the reform coinage of the early 1830s, when Meiningen aligned its currency with the Bavarian-dominated South German monetary conventions following the 1837 Munich Coinage Treaty's groundwork — though Meiningen's own reckoning came slightly ahead of formal unification.
The duchy's mint output was modest by any measure, and KM#136 saw a short four-year production window before subsequent coinage reforms made the type obsolete.
