| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features the Brunswick arms — a walking or rampant horse (the Hanoverian steed) — set within a beaded inner circle surrounded by a dotted border. The date 1619 appears divided across the upper field. The peripheral legend reads I·A·N·S·Q·S·E·P, an abbreviation of Frederick Ulrich's titles as ruler of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The toothed rim typical of hammered silver coinage is visible around the edge. The design is executed in the conventional north German groschen style of the early Kipper und Wipper period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick Ulrich's reign over Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was marked by administrative incompetence severe enough that the Estates effectively wrested control of the duchy from him for extended periods — the coins issued under his name often reflect the output of a mint operating with more institutional than ducal authority. This groschen dates to the opening year of the Thirty Years' War, when small silver currency across the German states was already under pressure from the Kipper- und Wipperzeit debasing wave that would accelerate ruinously through 1621–23.
At 0.83g, this piece sits at the lighter end of what the denomination was still being struck at before debasement collapsed standards entirely.
