| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays an interlaced monogram, likely comprising the conjoined initials of the two ruling counts Albert Frederick and Jost Günther, enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The monogram is boldly rendered in a style consistent with early seventeenth-century German hammered coinage. A Latin legend encircles the outer border, reading MON. NO. ARGENTEA., identifying this as a new silver monetary issue. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, as is typical for hammered small denomination coins of this era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The County of Barby was a small Saxon territory that passed through a tangle of inheritance disputes across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Albert Frederick and Jost Günther ruled jointly — a co-regency arrangement common among German Protestant dynasties of the period, designed to prevent fragmentation while satisfying dynastic obligation. The county was absorbed into Brandenburg-Prussia in 1659, making all joint-reign issues necessarily brief by circumstance.
The 1620–1621 dating places this piece squarely at the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, when small German states rushed to assert minting rights before political and military upheaval closed the window entirely.
