| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the elaborate quartered coat of arms of the Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, surmounted by a large ducal crown flanked by two smaller crowns and elaborate foliate mantling. The shield is divided into multiple quarters bearing the heraldic devices of Brunswick, Lüneburg, and associated territories, including rampant lions, a white horse, and other dynastic charges. A mint initial 'R' appears within the field. The circular Latin legend reads D G RUDOLPH AUGUSTUS DUX BR & LUNEB, identifying the reigning duke Rudolf Augustus, by the grace of God Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg. The entire design is executed in high relief with fine baroque decorative detail. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel for over half a century and died in 1714 — which immediately raises a problem: a death memorial issue dated 1704 is almost certainly a misattribution or a cataloging error, as the duke was very much alive that year. The more plausible reading is that this is a thaler struck in 1714 to mark his passing, with the date misread or transposed somewhere in the cataloging chain. Welter 1851 confirms the memorial context; the discrepancy is worth flagging before acquisition.
