| Reverse description | The reverse presents a standing male figure, depicted as a wild man or Hercules-type figure in the tradition of Brunswick heraldic imagery, facing forward in the center of the field. The figure holds a tall staff or banner in his right hand and a laurel branch in his left, and is shown wearing a leafy crown, with foliage at his feet suggesting a naturalistic base. The motto CONSTANTER arcs across the upper field in bold capital letters, referencing the steadfastness associated with the ducal house, while the numeral 4 appears to the lower left, reaffirming the denomination. The composition is framed by a beaded inner border and displays the robust, somewhat naive engraving style characteristic of provincial German minting of the period. |
