| Additional information |
Ausbeute coinages were struck directly from ore yields extracted at specific mining operations — in this case, the Harz silver mines under Calenberg administration. The "Löser" designation marks this as a presentation-grade multiple thaler, produced not for commerce but as a high-value gift currency distributed by the duke to officials, diplomats, and favored courtiers. John Frederick of Calenberg was an unusually active patron of the Harz mining operations in the early 1670s, and Ausbeute issues from his reign document specific productive surges at those workings.
Welter 1668 distinguishes this among several closely related die marriages from the same period.
