Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel until his death in 1714, but the years spanning this issue's production were dominated by a conversion that scandalized Protestant Germany: in 1709, at age 74, he formally converted to Catholicism — a move driven partly by dynastic calculation around the Habsburg succession and partly, by his own account, by genuine theological conviction. The conversion cost him significant political standing among the Lutheran princes of the Empire.
Welter 2299 distinguishes this as the second die variant of KM#693, differentiated by subtle legend spacing from the first.
