| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-length figure of a wild man (Wildmann), the so-called 'Lichttaler' type, striding to the left and holding a lit candle or torch aloft in his right hand and a second object in his left, with the date divided on either side of the figure in the field. The encircling Latin motto ALIIS. IN. SERVIENDO. CONSVMOR. ('I am consumed in serving others') runs between the beaded inner border and the outer rim, reflecting Duke Julius's humanist and reformist ideals. The die work is bold and characteristic of the mid-sixteenth-century Lower Saxon hammered coinage tradition. |
