| Reverse description | In the central field, a personification of Fortune (Fortuna) stands atop a globe, rendered in high relief in the hammered style. The figure is depicted semi-draped with flowing drapery at the waist, holding aloft a billowing sail or veil with both arms raised in a dynamic pose, evoking the classical Fortuna iconography associated with the 'Glückslöser' lottery thaler type. The figure's stance and attributes convey the themes of chance and providence central to this Ausbeute (mining production) issue. Surrounding the central device is a beaded inner border, within which the German legend reads O IHR LEUTE ALLE VIER WAS IHR SUCHT DAS FINDET IHR HIER, inscribed continuously around the periphery between two beaded borders. |
