Hello,

 

Just note that the same coin is in different German states. Which one is the correct one?

 

N#321396

 

N#213825

 

 

 

Thanks,

Felipe

I want to say the second one (Saxe-Meininingen) not because I know much about it but because there are auction listings for it the items being in graded slabs with the information on it. The first link has nothing coming up. 

 

German States: Saxe-Meiningen. Georg I Pair of Certified Kreuzers | Lot #61290 | Heritage Auctions

As the references show SCWC lists both:

 

I find this in Schön DM under Henneberg-Meiningen:

The symbol at the bottom of the reverse is different, but variations like that don't usually indicate a different issuer.

 

I can't find another listing for a 1787 or 1794 1 Kreuzer under any of the Sachsen branches.

 

On MA-Shops I find several of this type, and also another 1794 type:

The listing with this image calls this a coin from “SACHSEN COBURG MEININGEN”, other names are used in other listings of this second type. (I didn't try to locate this type in KM, Schön DM, or Numista. I only searched 1794 in MA-Shops.)
