| Reverse description | The reverse bears a thirteen-line Latin commemorative inscription filling the entire field, recording the biographical details of Duke John Frederick: his birth on 25 April 1625, his assumption of rule over the duchies of Calenberg, Grubenhagen, and the territory of Göttingen in 1665, and his death on 18 December 1679 at Augsburg. The text is rendered in bold incuse Roman capital lettering of varying size, framed by a plain inner border and a beaded outer rim. The inscription serves as a sepulchral record typical of German Baroque memorial thalers of the period. |
