| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of the St. Andreas mine, depicted as a bearded elder wearing flowing robes and a nimbus, holding an open book in his left hand and a saltire cross — his traditional attribute — behind him, with a globus cruciger at his feet. The figure stands within an inner beaded oval border. The date is divided to either side of the figure. A circular Latin legend surrounds the field, citing the issuer's additional titles and territories. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hohnstein was a small and financially precarious county in the Harz region, and its counts leaned heavily on mining revenues to sustain any pretense of independence. This thaler is an Ausbeute issue — struck directly from ore extracted at the St. Andreas mine — a practice that tied coinage explicitly to a specific working shaft rather than general treasury metal. Volkmar Wolfgang, who ruled jointly with his brothers under perpetual debt pressure, used such pieces partly as prestige instruments, demonstrating to creditors and neighbors alike that the mines were still producing.
The county was absorbed into Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel within decades of this striking.
