| Reverse description | Within a rope or twisted inner circle, the denomination inscription is presented in three lines across the field, reading 'I / MAT / TIR', identifying the coin as one Matthier. The surrounding peripheral legend, partially continuing from the obverse, incorporates the date 1647 and the civic designation 'STADTGELT', indicating this was official city money. The lettering is bold and Gothic in character, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of Brunswick in the mid-17th century. |
