| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large crowned and interlaced cursive monogram combining the initials R, A, and U, representing co-rulers Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The ornate ducal crown surmounts the monogram, which is rendered in an elaborate calligraphic style typical of late 17th-century German coinage. The date 1691 appears distributed around the monogram within the legend, with small floral or pellet ornaments punctuating the field. |
