| Obverse description | The traditional heraldic prancing horse of Brunswick-Lüneburg rears up on its hind legs facing left, rendered in bold relief at the center of the field. The horse's mane and tail flow dramatically, conveying motion and power in the characteristic regional style. A continuous Latin legend encircles the central device, reading IOAN:FRIDER:D:G:DUX BRUNS:ET LUNEB, identifying the issuing ruler, Duke John Frederick, by the grace of God, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg. |
