| Reverse description | A detailed mining scene occupies the field, with a worker operating a windlass in the foreground to raise ore from the mine shaft below. In the background, three burning fires or furnaces are visible alongside a radiant sun, symbolising the productive output of the mine. The composition conveys the prosperity derived from silver mining and reflects the genre of German Ausbeute or mining thaler issued to celebrate mineral wealth. The peripheral legend in German encircles the scene, proclaiming the first fruits of divine blessing. The engraving style is vigorous and narrative, consistent with late Baroque German mining coinage. |
