Description:
2 Groschen (1/12 Taler).
Sachsen-Hildburghausen.
Ernst Friedrich (1715-1724).
Legend on revers: *Z. GED. D. ERB. U. L - AND. HUL. 1 SEPT.* - "ERB. U. L - AND. HUL" == "die Erb- und Landeshuldigung". Rough translation "on oath". I know that Ernst Friedrich I received an inheritance after his father's death back in 1715, but after that long struggled with estates, overcoming their resistance and even - in 1717 an open revolt. When he was depressed - do not know, and
so I can only assume that the coin minted at the event to overcome this confusion and bringing Prince appropriate oath.
*F - mintmaster Johann Georg Feuchther.
Ag.
