| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned wild man (Wilder Mann), the traditional heraldic supporter of Brunswick, stands facing forward in the central field, holding a large uprooted pine tree or staff over his left shoulder, his body covered in foliage. The figure is rendered with vigorous relief within an inner beaded circle. The surrounding circular Latin legend incorporates the date 1609 and the motto HONESTVM PRO PATRIA, meaning 'honorably for the fatherland,' separated by rosette stops, reflecting the humanist ideals of Prince Henry Julius. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry Julius ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1589 until his death in 1613, and his reign coincided with a period of aggressive taler production across the Lower Saxon Circle. He was also a playwright of some note — one of the first German princes to maintain a professional theatre company at his court in Wolfenbüttel, a detail that sits oddly against the hard monetary pragmatism these coins represent. The principality's silver supply drew heavily on Harz Mountain mining output, which peaked and began its long decline during precisely this window.
