| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a walking horse to the right, the heraldic symbol of the Duchy of Brunswick, rendered in low relief. The date appears in the exergue or lower field, partially legible beneath the animal. The overall design is characteristically sparse, in keeping with the utilitarian style of small copper pfennig coinage of the early eighteenth century. The flan shows typical irregular copper planchet characteristics of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel for over five decades and spent much of his later reign converting to Catholicism in 1709 — a politically fraught move in a Lutheran territory. These small copper pfennigs, struck in the years just before that conversion, circulated through a duchy already marked by his extravagant court spending and the construction of Salzdahlum palace, which drained ducal finances considerably. Small denomination copper coinage from German principalities of this period survives unevenly; much was melted or simply lost to attrition given the metal's low intrinsic value.
