| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped bust of Duke John Frederick of Brunswick-Lüneburg, his flowing long hair adorned with a laurel wreath, rendered in high relief with finely detailed drapery at the truncation. The portrait is executed in the Baroque court style characteristic of late 17th-century German ducal coinage. A circumscribed Latin legend reading IOHAN FRIDER : D : G : DUX BR : & LU : surrounds the effigy, identifying the ruler by name and title. The inner border is defined by a beaded or toothed rim. The field around the bust is smooth and unadorned. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Frederick, who ruled Calenberg from 1665 until his death in 1679, was a Catholic convert governing a predominantly Lutheran territory — a tension he managed largely by leaving confessional affairs undisturbed while pursuing an aggressively ambitious foreign policy. He aligned Brunswick-Calenberg with France during Louis XIV's Dutch War, a gamble that brought French subsidies and military prestige but left his successors deeply entangled in continental power struggles.
The Fr#569 attribution places this squarely within a ducat series that saw irregular output; Calenberg's mint at Hannover was never among the high-volume operations of the German states.
