| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts an elaborate closed tournament helmet surmounted by the Brunswick horse crest, shown as a prancing horse in profile, set above a richly mantled and crowned helmet with voluminous acanthus-like lambrequins flowing symmetrically into the field. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, rendered in German in Gothic lettering, bears the pious motto affirming the eternal grace of God. The design is executed in the vigorous high-relief style typical of mid-sixteenth century Lower Saxon hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Grubenhagen was among the most obscure and financially exhausted of the Lutheran principalities by mid-century, its territory fragmented and its ruling house perpetually short of revenue. The joint-reign coinage of 1555 reflects a dynastic arrangement rather than political strength — four co-ruling brothers sharing a principality too small and too poor to sustain any one of them comfortably. Thalers of this type were struck in very limited numbers, and surviving examples attributed cleanly to this issue are infrequently encountered in the trade.
Welter 488 is a recognized rarity within the Grubenhagen series.
