| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the crowned royal cipher 'EA' (for Ernest August) within a laurel wreath, surrounded by an elaborate arrangement of fourteen dynastic coat of arms shields representing the territories of Brunswick-Lüneburg. The peripheral legend reads SOLA BONA QUAE HONESTA (Only good things which are honest) along the upper rim. At the lower portion of the field, the mintmaster's initials 'RB', the denomination numeral '2', and the date '1688' are inscribed. The entire composition is framed by a finely beaded border, reflecting the high artistic standards of the Zellerfeld mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ernest August ruled Calenberg from 1679 and spent much of the following decade maneuvering to have his territory elevated to an Electorate — achieved finally in 1692, four years after this series ended. These Ausbeute pieces were struck directly from silver mined in the Harz Mountains, a distinction that gave them both ceremonial weight and a specific legal identity separate from ordinary coinage. The Harz mining operations were a central pillar of Guelph finances, and presentation-grade multiples like this Löser were instruments of dynastic display as much as anything else.
Lösers of this type rarely circulated. They were gifted, displayed, and archived.
