| Beschrijving keerzijde | A hilly landscape in the lower field with rays emanating from a setting sun at the lower right, evoking the passage of life into death. A curved inscribed band arches across the upper field bearing the Latin commemorative motto. The initials H.C.H. appear in the lower field, likely identifying the die engraver or mint official. The overall composition is characteristic of German Baroque memorial coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anna Dorothea of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf served as abbess of Quedlinburg from 1685 until her death in 1704, presiding over one of the most politically entangled imperial abbeys in the Holy Roman Empire — a house with the right to strike its own coinage, seat in the Imperial Diet, and perpetual disputes with Brandenburg-Prussia over territorial suzerainty. This piece was struck as a memorial issue upon her death, a practice common among the imperial abbeys where the abbess held quasi-sovereign minting rights. Brandenburg-Prussia absorbed Quedlinburg's secular authority entirely just seven years later, in 1698 having already forced a co-administration arrangement, making Anna Dorothea effectively the last abbess to exercise meaningful independent rule.
