Reverse description A spirited horse leaps to the left in dynamic high relief, its mane flowing freely, set against a detailed panoramic background depicting an active Harz mountain silver mining complex. Below and behind the horse, the scene features miners at work, timber-framed mine shaft structures, fencing, spoil heaps, and coniferous forest rising along the flanks. In the lower register, a cross-sectional view of underground mine workings is rendered in fine detail, showing miners engaged in subterranean labor with equipment visible within the shaft. Stylized clouds occupy the upper right of the field, and the entire composition is framed by a decorative granulated border, exemplifying the elaborate pictorial tradition of the Brunswick Ausbeute Löser coinage.
