| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, uniformed bust of Charles II, Duke of Brunswick, facing left, depicted in military dress coat with heavily decorated epaulettes, collar insignia, and braided frogging, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture. The peripheral legend reads CARL SOUV. HERZOG V. BRAUNSCH. U. LUENEB. in raised Latin letters, interrupted at the base by the date 1827 flanked by two small stars. The portrait displays curly hair and a strong profile characteristic of early nineteenth-century German neoclassical medallic art. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles II of Brunswick was one of the most reviled German rulers of the nineteenth century. His erratic, despotic behavior so alienated the population that in September 1830 — sparked partly by news of the July Revolution in Paris — a mob burned the ducal palace to the ground while fire brigades stood by and watched. Charles fled into exile and was formally deposed by his own brother Wilhelm, who proved a considerably more stable successor. These 10-Thaler pieces were struck in the final years before that collapse, making them among the last gold issues produced under a reign that ended in arson rather than abdication.
