| Reverse description | A large, elaborately quartered heraldic shield bearing the manifold arms of the Ernestine Wettin dukes occupies the central field, surmounted by six ornate plumed and crested helmets with flowing baroque mantling. The date of issue is divided by the shield, with the last two digits appearing on either side. The circular Latin legend FRATRES LINIÆ GOTHANÆ, meaning 'Brothers of the Gotha Line,' surrounds the composition. The reverse presents a highly detailed display of dynastic heraldry rendered in the vigorous Baroque engraving style characteristic of late seventeenth-century German Thalers. |
