| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full equestrian portrait of Duke John Casimir in full plate armor, depicted facing right astride a magnificently caparisoned horse in a prancing stance, with finely engraved decorative trappings covering the mount. The duke raises his right hand in a commanding gesture while holding a sword, conveying regal authority. A continuous Latin legend citing his titles as Landgrave of Thuringia, Margrave of Meissen, and Count of the March surrounds the equestrian figure along the inner border. The date 1627 appears in the exergue below the horse, separated by a decorative element. The deeply struck high-relief composition exemplifies the grand Baroque double-thaler tradition of the German princely states. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Casimir ruled Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach during one of the most destructive decades in German history — the Thirty Years' War was already nine years in by 1627, and the Protestant territories of Thuringia faced mounting pressure from Imperial and Catholic League forces. Large-denomination silver multiples like this double thaler served a practical military-fiscal purpose: paying troops and contracting mercenaries required substantial silver that small coinage could not efficiently transfer. The Coburg region would be occupied by Wallenstein's forces within two years of this striking.
