| Descrizione del dritto | Central field occupied by the large, elaborately quartered coat of arms of Brunswick-Lüneburg, surmounted by an arched electoral crown and enclosed within an ornate baroque cartouche with scrollwork flanking both sides. The quartered shield displays the arms of Brunswick (two lions passant), Lüneburg (lion on barry field), Westphalia (horse courant), and additional dynastic quarters, with an inescutcheon at center. The circumferential legend in Latin reads around the upper portion of the coin. The overall engraving style is characteristic of late 17th- to early 18th-century German taler coinage, with high-relief baroque ornamentation. |

| Descrizione del rovescio | The traditional Harz wildman (Wilder Mann) stands facing, depicted as a bearded, hirsute figure wearing a wreath of leaves around his waist, his left hand resting on his hip and his right hand grasping a large uprooted pine tree used as a staff, the roots visible at lower left. The figure stands on a grassy ground line, with the mintmaster's initials RB positioned to the right in the field. The motto legend IN RECTO DECUS arcs across the upper field. The reverse exemplifies the iconic Brunswick wildman type used on taler coinage of this duchy throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. |

George Louis governed Calenberg-Hannover as Elector from 1698, but his tenure over this coinage was shaped less by local politics than by dynastic ambition aimed squarely at London. The Act of Settlement of 1701 designated him the Protestant heir to the British throne, a fact that immediately elevated the Hanoverian court's international standing and almost certainly influenced the prestige output of the mint at this period. He would eventually leave Hannover for Westminster in 1714, becoming George I of Great Britain — making every coin struck in his name here a product of a ruler with one eye already on a different kingdom.
