| Reverse description | Large, elaborately rendered coat of arms of the Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, quartered and surmounted by multiple heraldic crests, supported on the dexter by a wild man (Wilder Mann) and on the sinister by a lion rampant, all within a wreath border. Stars and decorative elements fill the field around the arms. The outer legend in German Gothic lettering names this piece as a Löser coin and gives its value in thalers. The reverse exemplifies the high artistic standard of late sixteenth-century German hammered coinage. |
