"SACHSEN, SACHSEN-MEININGEN, HERZOGTUM, VON 1735 BIS 1826. Ernst Ludwig I. 1706-1724. 2 Pfennig 1707. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (Germany, duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, Ernest Louis I, 1706-24, two pfennig of 1707. Very fine to extremely fine.)"
This denomination is not listed in the SCWC for this state. The auctioneers have catalogued this correctly as the "2 ₰" on the reverse means two pfennig. The "SML" on the obverse means "Saxe-Meiningen Land-Munze".
