| Additional information |
Francis Frederick Anthony ruled Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld for barely two years before his death in 1806, leaving a numismatic footprint so shallow that most collectors encounter the duchy only through the longer reigns of his predecessors. The 1804 issue coincides almost exactly with the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire — formally abolished in 1806 — meaning this coinage was struck under an imperial framework that had only months left to function.
The .305 fineness places it squarely in the degraded billon coinage typical of small German states struggling to maintain fractional currency without depleting silver reserves.
