| Beschrijving keerzijde | An animated Harz mining landscape depicted in fine engraving occupies the upper field: a radiant sun bursts through clouds at the apex, flanked by alchemical symbols for Venus (copper, left) and Saturn (right), with a crescent moon visible beneath the rays. Below, a forested mountain scene shows a mine entrance portal at centre, with miners and ore wagons drawn by horses in procession across the foreground. A horizontal line divides the pictorial scene from a four-line German inscription in the lower field recording the name of the mine 'Güte des Herrn', its entry into production in 1740, and the assayer's initials I.B.H. The circular outer legend in the upper arc continues the biblical quotation from Psalm 33. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Lüneburg mining thalers of this type — known as Ausbeute coins — were struck directly from ore extracted at the Harz Mountain mines, a practice that served both as a demonstration of the territory's mineral wealth and as a record of productive mining years. George II, simultaneously Elector of Hanover and King of Great Britain, had little personal involvement in Harz administration, but the mines operated under vigorous management throughout the 1740s and 1750s, yielding enough silver to sustain this multi-year issue across several die marriages.
The Müseler reference places this among a well-documented but genuinely scarce subseries of Harz Ausbeute thalers — mine-production pieces were celebratory by nature and never struck in quantities approaching commercial coinage.
