| Obverse lettering | *IIII* MARIEN GROSCH: FEINSILB I.A.B. GEORG.II.DG.M.BR.FR.ET.HIB.REX.FD.1734 (Translation: St. Mary`s Groschen Fine Silver George the Second, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-length standing figure of a wild man (Wilder Mann), the heraldic symbol of the House of Brunswick-Lüneburg, facing the viewer. The figure holds an uprooted pine tree or staff over his right shoulder and stands on a ground line, rendered in a robust baroque style consistent with Hanoverian coinage of the early eighteenth century. The numeral 4 appears to the right of the figure, denoting the denomination. The surrounding circular legend reads: BR. ET. LVN. DVX. S.R.I.A. TH. ET. EL., identifying the ruler as Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, Arch Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. The field is plain and the design is enclosed within a raised rim with a milled or toothed border. |
