| Aversbeschreibung | Central field displays the crowned interlaced monogram of Duke Christian Louis within a laurel wreath. Surrounding the wreath, a ring of fourteen small armorial shields representing the territories of Brunswick-Lüneburg. At the base of the design, the denomination numeral '4' flanks the ducal initials 'CL' and 'HS', identifying the ruler and mint master. The overall composition is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style characteristic of large multiple-thaler coinage of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The 4-thaler denomination was among the largest silver multiples struck in the German states, produced almost exclusively for presentation and diplomatic purposes rather than commerce — a coin of ceremony dressed as currency. Christian Louis, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg at Celle from 1648 until his death in 1665, ruled during the painstaking reconstruction of his territories following the Thirty Years' War, and such large showpiece strikes served the dual function of demonstrating recovered prosperity and providing gifts worthy of equals at foreign courts.
Welter 1500 is among the rarer documented varieties of this type, and examples catalogued under Dav BrSL#180 appear with some frequency in major German auction houses but seldom in consistent grades, suggesting limited survival rather than limited original production.
