| Beschrijving voorzijde | The wildman (Wilder Mann), the traditional heraldic figure of the Brunswick-Lüneburg dynasty, stands facing in the field, his body covered in foliage and his waist girdled with a wreath of leaves. His left hand rests on his hip while his right hand grasps an uprooted tree, its leafy crown extending to the right. The figure stands upon a rocky ground line adorned with vegetation. The mint master's initials E•P•H• appear in the lower field below the figure. |

Pattern strikes in gold for base-denomination pfennig coinage are almost never sanctioned for circulation purposes — this piece exists as a presentation or trial piece, almost certainly produced for court use or as a gift to a notable collector. George II acceded to the British throne in 1727, one year after this piece was struck, making 1726 a politically charged moment in Hanover as the court positioned itself for the transition.
The Calenberg line of Brunswick-Lüneburg had long used pattern coinage as diplomatic currency. A gold pfennig serves no monetary logic whatsoever.
