| Reverse description | Four-line inscription occupying the central field, stating the issuing territory and denomination in abbreviated form. The legend reads IEVER STUI VER, with ornamental stops and a heart-shaped decorative device separating the elements. The text is arranged in horizontal lines across the flat field, with star-shaped and heart ornaments serving as dividers between words, characteristic of small German territorial coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |

| Additional information |
Anthony Günther ruled Oldenburg for over six decades without a legitimate heir, a dynastic failure that defined the politics of the entire region. When he died in 1667 — just six years after this coin was struck — the Lordship of Jever passed through inheritance to Anhalt-Zerbst, ending Oldenburg's direct control. This stüber belongs to the final chapter of his administration, minted when that succession crisis was already an open secret among the north German courts.
