| Reverse description | A horse leaping to the left dominates the central field, serving as the traditional heraldic emblem of the Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. To the right stands a wildman facing left, holding a tree trunk or club in his right hand; his left hand bears memento mori devices comprising a skull, an hourglass, and a pair of spectacles, symbolising the transience of life. The encircling Latin legend SI DEVS PRO NOBIS QVIS CONTRA NOS surrounds the composition, with the mintmaster's initials and administrative abbreviations distributed within the lower field. The reverse design unites dynastic symbolism with moralising Renaissance emblematic tradition. |
