| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Duke August II the Younger of Brunswick-Lüneburg facing right, wearing a lace collar and decorated breastplate with a prominent bow or order ornament at the chest. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the early Baroque style characteristic of early 17th-century German thalers. The bust is contained within a beaded inner circle, with a Latin legend running along the outer margin between the beaded border and a fine dentilated rim. |
