| Obverse description | The armorial horse of Brunswick-Lüneburg, depicted leaping to the left in high relief, occupies the center of the coin within a beaded inner circle. The animal is rendered in a vigorous, prancing posture with its forelegs raised and mane flowing. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the inner circle, reads GEORG:LUD:D.G.D.B&L.S.R.I.E., identifying the issuing ruler George Louis (later George I of Great Britain) by name and titles. The entire design is framed by a fine outer dentilated border. |
