| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel within a beaded inner circle: a crowned shield divided into two quarters, the upper bearing two horizontal bars with pellets (Brunswick) and the lower depicting a rampant lion (Wolfenbüttel). A fleur-de-lis or ornamental cross device appears above the shield at the top of the inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend, reading MAT·D·G·R·ISA with the date split across the field, encircles the design, separated from the central motif by a beaded border. The coin is struck on an irregular, slightly wavy flan typical of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick Ulrich's reign over Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was marked almost immediately by administrative dysfunction — his councillors effectively governed while he pursued hunting and drink, and the small fractional coinage of these years reflects the broader fragmentation of monetary production across the Lower Saxon Circle. The 1618–1619 window coincides precisely with the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which would devastate the Brunswick territories and eventually force massive debasement of regional silver coinage throughout the 1620s.
KM#80 predates that debasement collapse by only a few years.
