| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a nine-line funerary inscription in bold Latin capital lettering, recording the precise biographical and regnal dates of Duke Henry Julius: his birth on 15 October 1564, his death on 20 July 1613, the total span of his life at 48 years, 9 months, and 5 days, and his reign of 24 years, 2 months, and 17 days. The text fills the flan from rim to rim without border or additional ornament, presenting a stark memorial character typical of early seventeenth-century German commemorative coinage. No legend encircles the rim; the inscription itself constitutes the entire design. |
