Reverse description A detailed panoramic view of the Ilmenau silver mining operations is depicted across the full field. Above ground, timber-framed mine buildings, a headframe with winding gear, a waterwheel-driven stamping mill, and a smelting furnace with rising smoke are rendered in fine engraving. In the foreground, a cross-section of the mine shaft reveals miners at work underground, hauling ore by hand in a subterranean gallery. A hen with spread wings perches atop the mountain summit in the upper centre of the field, serving as the Henneberg crest emblem. The mintmaster's initials B·A appear in the lower exergue, and the Latin legend TUETUR ET AUGET. arcs around the upper periphery.
