| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Cologne municipal countermark known as the 'Kölner Zug' (approximately 6 x 5.5 mm), applied to the host coin — a 2/3 Taler of Henneberg-Ilmenau dated 1692. The host coin's obverse presents the quartered Saxon-Henneberg coat of arms surmounted by a ducal mantle and coronet, flanked by the date 16-92 divided across the field. The surrounding circular legend reads COMMUNIS MONETA SAXONI[AE] DG DUCUM HENNENBERGENSIS, executed in Latin capitals separated by rosette stops. A beaded inner border frames the armorial design, with the outer rim exhibiting fine reeding from the original minting. The small oval or punch-style Cologne countermark bearing the legend C O L N is struck into the field, validating the coin for local circulation. |
