| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the prancing horse of Brunswick (the Saxon steed) facing left in high relief, depicted in a dynamic leaping pose above a ground line with tufts of grass. The field is plain, and the peripheral Latin legend reads CAROLVS D·G·DVX BR·ET LV around the upper arc. Mint-master initials I·D·B appear in the lower exergue beneath the ground line. The design is rendered in the robust Baroque style typical of North German coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

A beaded inner circle encloses the central legend, while the outer legend around the periphery reads CLX EINE FEINE MARCK CONVENT·M, indicating the fineness and convention standard of the coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel's fractional thaler coinage of this period reflects the chronic shortage of reliable small silver that plagued most German territories in the latter half of the eighteenth century. Charles I had ruled since 1735 and spent much of his reign navigating the financial wreckage left by the Seven Years' War, during which Brunswick territories were occupied and the ducal treasury severely depleted. The 1764 start date for this type is almost certainly no coincidence — it follows directly from the post-war monetary reforms pushed through the Empire that year.
Welter 2757 distinguishes several die variants across the emission period.
