| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the prancing horse of Brunswick, depicted in high relief facing left with its right foreleg raised, standing upon a ground line with stylized grass tufts beneath. The mint master initials M·C· appear in the exergue below the ground line. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading CAROLVS GVIL · FERD · D · G · DVX BR · ET L · M · C ·, identifying Duke Charles William Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel by his Latinized title. The overall style is consistent with late 18th-century German princely coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles William Ferdinand, the reigning Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1780, was the Prussian field marshal mortally wounded at Auerstedt in 1806 — making 1795 one of his final peacetime years before the Napoleonic wars consumed the region entirely. A silver pattern for a one-pfennig denomination is a deliberate contradiction: the coin's face value was among the lowest in circulation, yet here struck in a precious metal, almost certainly produced for presentation or court approval rather than any genuine minting proposal. Whether it progressed beyond a single trial striking is unrecorded.
