| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the interlaced FV monogram of Duke Frederick Ulrich, composed of the letters F and V in elaborate calligraphic form, surmounted by a princely crown with raised arches and decorative fleurs. The date is divided across the field, with the numerals 16 to the left and 24 to the right of the monogram. The design is rendered in relief on a plain, slightly irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick Ulrich's reign over Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was a slow administrative collapse — he died in 1634 without an heir, extinguishing his line entirely and triggering a succession reshuffling among the Guelf branches. The 1624 date places this piece squarely in the early devastation of the Thirty Years' War, when the Lower Saxon Circle found itself directly in the path of Tilly's Catholic League forces. Small silver fractions like this circulated under severe monetary stress, as territorial mints across the German states debased and overproduced coinage during the Kipper- und Wipperzeit of the early 1620s — a currency crisis so acute it destabilized grain markets across the region.
