Also forgot to include this.

NATVS = born;

REGIMEN AGGRESSVS -- aggressus is a participle form of aggredior and in this sense means that he began his rule (regimen) on 17 May 1735;

DENATVS = deceased (literally "un-born") - a euphemism for MORTVVS (died), etc.

ANNO RAGIMINIS (sic) is a blunder and should be ANNO or ANNIS REGIMINIS XXIIX = "Ruled 28 years"

AETATIS LII = age (of) 52

Together, you have: Born 10 May 1711 / Began rule 17 May 1735 / Deceased 26 February 1763 / Ruled 28 years / Age 52

Interestingly, despite being denominated as LX EINE FEINE MARCK = 60 of these coins to equal 1 .890 Cologne mark (that would be about 233.86g, so 1/60 of that = you would expect a weight of approx. 3.98g based on the Reichsmünzordnung standard), by the time these coins were struck, inflation and devaluation had debased the silver standard to a just-above-billon 0.500 fineness, and so a 20 Kreuzer (1/6 Konventionsthaler) coin from Bayreuth in the 1760s weighed a much heftier 6.4-6.6 grams on average.
