| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Duke Augustus the Younger of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel facing right, depicted in elaborate plate armor with a prominent gorget and pauldrons, holding a sword over his right shoulder. The duke's bearded portrait is rendered in a vigorous Baroque style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century German coinage. The figure is framed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend AUGUSTUS D G DUX BRUNS ET LUN distributed around the periphery, identifying him as Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg by the grace of God. Separating dots punctuate the inscription at intervals. |
