| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse depicts a rocky mine interior in which two miners are shown at work: one kneeling and one standing, both wielding hammers as they extract ore from the stone, illustrating the origin of the silver used at the mint. A landscape with mining infrastructure and tree-covered hills is visible in the background above the cave opening. The legend CONSTANTER curves along the upper rim as a banner, with the date 1705 appearing in the lower field, together referencing the duke's steadfast motto. |

Anthony Ulrich visited the Zellerfeld mint in 1705, a formality that German princes of the period transformed into a minor political ritual — the ruling lord would oversee a symbolic striking, and commemorative pieces in large module silver were distributed as gifts to the entourage and court. These mint-visit issues were never intended for circulation and survive almost exclusively in the condition in which they were presented.
By 1705, Anthony Ulrich was in his mid-seventies and deep in negotiation over the elevation of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel to electoral status — a goal he would pursue until his conversion to Catholicism in 1710 complicated matters considerably.
