| Beschrijving keerzijde | Armored half-length figure of Duke Julius facing slightly to the right, depicted in three-quarter view, wearing full plate armor and holding a battle axe raised over the right shoulder. The date 1574 is divided by the figure in the field. The surrounding Latin motto legend, a humanist device meaning 'I am consumed in serving others,' encircles the design, referencing the duke's role as a ruler and reformer. The engraving reflects the robust, martial portraiture style of North German Renaissance Thaler production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Julius, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, began striking thalers in 1568 following his conversion to Lutheranism and his reorganization of the duchy's finances — the two events were not unrelated. Revenue from the Rammelsberg silver mines at Goslar underpinned the coinage, and Julius was aggressive about monetizing that output. He founded the Wolfenbüttel mint specifically to process it.
The 1574 date places this piece mid-series, well before the mint's peak output years of the late 1570s.
