| Beschrijving keerzijde | A spherical imperial orb surmounted by a cross pattee is depicted centrally within a beaded border, enclosing the numeral 6 to denote the coin's face value. The four-digit date 1621 is inscribed below the orb in the lower field. The orb is rendered in the schematic style characteristic of Kipper und Wipper-era copper pfennig coinage, with the horizontal band of the orb clearly delineated. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Six Brothers" kipper coinage of 1621 takes its name from the six co-ruling dukes of Saxe-Weimar who jointly issued it during the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the catastrophic currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623. Minters across the Empire raced to produce debased small coinage, melting good silver currency and returning lightweight or base-metal substitutes. Saxe-Weimar was among the many small states that participated aggressively.
Copper issues like this one represent the floor of that debasement cycle.
