| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, depicts two wild men (Salvatori) standing facing one another on a grassy ground, each wearing a crown of oak leaves and a skirt of foliage, their bodies rendered in detailed relief. Between them rises a young oak sapling with crossed stems, symbolising the fraternal unity of the two co-ruling dukes. The surrounding circumferential legend, in Latin capitals, reads UT FRONTIBUS ITA FRONDIBUS CONJUNCTISSIMI, meaning 'As united in their brows, so in their branches', a dynastic motto alluding to shared governance. The composition is enclosed between two concentric borders, the outer one featuring a finely milled edge pattern. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel jointly from 1685 following the death of their brother Ferdinand Albrecht, an arrangement that was politically pragmatic but personally tense — Anthony Ulrich was the more ambitious of the two, a prolific writer and court builder who effectively drove policy while his elder brother lent legitimacy. The joint coinage they produced across this period documents that uneasy dual authority in silver.
Anthony Ulrich would eventually force Rudolph August into near-total retirement by 1704, ruling alone until his own death in 1714. The thalers struck before that rupture are among the few artifacts where both names carry equal legal weight.
