Comment
The same design was used in 1673 so it might not be a Death Commemorative. 
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 2 Pfennigs - Ernest (Death) 1675 from Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Ernest, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin was minted to commemorate the death of Ernest in 1675, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
