| Aversbeschreibung | Central field displays a large quartered shield bearing the arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, comprising multiple heraldic charges including lions, eagles, and other dynastic devices, framed by ornate cartouche-style mantling. The shield is positioned centrally within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin reads HENRICUS JULIUS D G P E H DUX BRUNSVIE ET LV, identifying Duke Henry Julius by name and title. The overall composition reflects the elaborate heraldic style typical of early seventeenth-century German princely coinage. |

Henry Julius, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, died in Prague in July 1613 while serving Emperor Matthias — his death widely attributed to the strains of court politics and, by some contemporary accounts, to poison, though nothing was proven. These memorial issues were struck the same year to mark the transition to his son Frederick Ulrich, whose reign would prove considerably less distinguished than his father's.
Henry Julius had been among the more intellectually active princes of his generation, maintaining a court theater that predated many better-remembered German theatrical traditions. The death coinage capitalizes on that cultivated image.
