| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned Gothic capital letter A, monogram of Duke August, displayed prominently in the center of the field with the four digits of the date arranged in two pairs flanking the monogram — two digits to the left and two to the right. The crown surmounting the A is rendered in a simple heraldic style typical of small hammered pfennig coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |

August the Younger, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1635 until his death in 1666, ruled one of the few German territories that emerged from the Thirty Years' War with its finances relatively intact — largely through careful neutrality and shrewd diplomacy. These pfennigs were struck across a twenty-year span that overlapped almost entirely with the enormous task of postwar monetary stabilization in the fragmented Empire, when silver coinage of any denomination carried genuine practical weight.
