| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Duke Christian of Brunswick-Lüneburg facing right, wearing an elaborate ruffled lace collar and a diagonal sash across the cuirass, set within a beaded inner circle. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the vigorous Baroque style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German thalers. The surrounding circumscribed Latin legend reads CHRISTIANUS D G EL EP MIND DUX BRT L H S, identifying Christian by his titles as elected Bishop of Minden and Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. A small ornamental stop appears at the base of the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle's thaler production in 1622–1624 fell squarely within the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the catastrophic currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire from roughly 1619 to 1623. While smaller denominations were being systematically debased by mints scrambling to profit from the chaos, full-weight silver thalers paradoxically became objects of hoarding rather than circulation — pulled from trade the moment they appeared. Christian of Minden, administrator of the duchy, maintained silver fineness on the thaler even as the broader monetary system collapsed around him.
