| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three small ornate heraldic shields arranged in a triangular composition — one above and two below — representing the arms of the six brother dukes of the Ernestine Saxe-Weimar line. The divided date flanks the uppermost shield, and the mintmaster's initials appear in the lower field. The circular Latin legend runs around the periphery, punctuated by stops, referencing the fraternal ducal issuers of the Weimar line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Six Brothers" designation refers to the joint reign of six Ernestine dukes — the sons of Duke Johann of Saxe-Weimar — who governed collectively after their father's death in 1605. This coin was struck during that unusual arrangement, which produced a proliferating series of multi-ruler issues that confound attribution to this day. The 1619–1621 window aligns with the opening of the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that immediately disrupted silver supply chains and mint operations across the German states.
The Kipper und Wipper crisis — the debasement spiral that swept the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623 — makes coins from precisely this window suspect in terms of actual silver content, even when nominally struck to standard.
