| Reverse description | The leaping white horse of Lower Saxony (the Saxon Steed) is depicted in high relief, bounding to the left above a detailed panoramic mining scene representing the Harz region. The landscape below shows a comprehensive view of the silver mining operations: mine shaft headframes, sluices, a water wheel, ore processing buildings, and wooded hillsides stretching into the background, with miners visible at work. A laurel wreath descends from clouds in the upper left, symbolising the glory derived from mining wealth. The exquisitely engraved reverse exemplifies the Ausbeute (mining yield) Löser tradition, struck from silver produced by the Harz mines. |
