| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination numeral 'II' above the three-line inscription 'MARIEN / GROS:' with 'F.SILB' and the mintmaster initials 'HB' below, indicating fine silver Ausbeute coinage. Two rosettes flank the numeral 'II' at either side. The encircling outer legend reads 'GEORG.L.D.G.D.BR.ET.L.S.R.I.EL.' (Georg Ludwig, by the Grace of God Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, Elector of the Holy Roman Empire), separated from the central motif by a beaded inner border. The lettering is deeply and crisply struck in a milled, well-centred format typical of late 17th-century Clausthal Mint production. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Saint Andrew the Apostle facing slightly left, draped in long robes and holding a large diagonal cross (saltire) in his left arm, with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing or address. The saint is depicted with a beard and halo, rendered in fine relief characteristic of Baroque German coinage. The encircling legend reads 'S.ANDREAS.REVIVISCENS' (Saint Andrew reviving), referencing the Ausbeute (mining yield) coinage tradition of the Harz region. A beaded border frames the design, and a small 'S' mark appears at the base of the field. |
