Comment
The shield style and mintmaster marks allow the coin to be dated to the early years of issue of this type (see link).Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the County of Barby (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.6g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Wolfgang II, who was a member of the House of Schwarzburg and ruled the County of Barby from 1598 to 1612.
