| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Duke Rudolph August facing right, wearing a laurel wreath and lace cravat, set within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral Latin legend reads RV AVGVSTVS D G HERZ Z B V L, identifying the ruler by name and title as Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg. The portrait is rendered in a bold, slightly crude style characteristic of late 17th-century German provincial minting. The field around the bust is flat and unadorned, with the legend closely following the coin's rim. |
