| Beschrijving voorzijde | The city arms of Brunswick — a rampant lion to the left — displayed centrally within an ornate foliate or scrollwork inner circle. The date appears at the end of the peripheral Latin legend, which is separated from the central device by a beaded or plain inner border. The overall composition reflects early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage style, with the heraldic lion rendered in bold relief against a flat field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread and talons extended, a circular orb bearing a cross on the breast. The eagle bears the imperial crown above both heads and is rendered in the characteristic style of Holy Roman Empire coinage under Ferdinand II. The peripheral Latin legend naming the emperor surrounds the eagle, separated by a beaded border, and dots serve as word dividers throughout the inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick's civic goldgulden of this period was struck against a backdrop of monetary catastrophe. The Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the great debasement crisis of 1619–1623 — had so thoroughly destroyed confidence in base-metal coinage across the German lands that municipalities with access to gold stocks rushed to assert monetary credibility through bullion issues. The city of Brunswick, jealous of its independent civic status within Lower Saxony, was among them.
The eleven-year span of this type reflects die reuse rather than continuous fresh production. Jesse's attribution distinguishes this as the second die variety of KM#26.
