| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting a large church bell without a clapper, suspended from a yoke by two serpentine ropes or straps, rendered in fine relief. The bell serves as the personal impresa of Duke August, alluding to his motto of deliberate and considered action. A beaded inner border encloses the design, with the German and Latin motto legend arranged around the circumference, interspersed with small floral ornaments. The date 1643 appears in the upper portion of the legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Glockenthaler" issues of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel were struck from silver recovered from bell metal — specifically, church bells melted down to finance the grinding costs of the Thirty Years' War. By 1643, the conflict was in its final exhausted years, and the duchy had been repeatedly occupied, plundered, and taxed into near-ruin. Coining bell metal was not sentiment; it was fiscal desperation dressed in piety.
Welter 826 is the specific half-thaler denomination within this emergency series. The bell provenance was considered significant enough to advertise explicitly in the coin's own inscription — an unusual transparency for wartime monetary improvisation.
