| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of St. John the Baptist depicted in the round, nimbed, wearing a rough garment, his right hand raised in blessing and his left arm cradling a lamb, consistent with the traditional Goldgulden type derived from the Florentine florin. Heraldic shields flank the central figure in the field to either side. The surrounding Latin motto legend SPES MEA IN DEO EST (My hope is in God) runs within a beaded border around the periphery of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry the Younger of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was, by 1558, one of the last Catholic princes still holding firm in a region that had turned decisively Lutheran. His long reign — he died in 1568 at roughly ninety years old — was marked by relentless conflict with the Schmalkaldic League, which twice drove him from his lands. This gulden was struck in the final decade of that reign, when his political position had stabilized but his duchy remained economically strained from decades of warfare and occupation.
