| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed Ausbeute (mining revenue) scene in the panoramic style typical of Harz region Lösers. In the upper field, the prancing horse of Hanover — the emblematic symbol of Brunswick-Lüneburg — leaps to the right above a detailed landscape, with a divine hand and clouds emerging from the upper right. The middle ground depicts an active Harz mining settlement with conical pit-head structures, fencing, trees, and workers engaged in surface activities. The lower register reveals a cross-section view of the mine shaft interior, showing miners at work underground with tools and equipment, illustrating the source of the silver used to strike the coin. The entire scene is enclosed within a continuous beaded border, and the composition exemplifies the elaborate pictorial tradition of Brunswick Ausbeute coinage celebrating the productivity of the Clausthal silver mines. |
