| Obverse description | Bust of Duke Augustus II of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel facing right, depicted as an elderly bearded figure wearing a cap and draped robes, rendered in high relief in the lower center of the field. Flanking the bust are two standing allegorical female figures — Justice to the left and Peace to the right — who extend olive or laurel branches toward one another above the duke's head, symbolizing the auspicious union of justice and peace. The Latin legend FAUSTUM IUSTITIAE ET PACIS CONSORTIUM appears in the upper field in raised lettering, with the name AUGUSTUS D G DUX BR ET LUNE inscribed along the lower border, identifying the sitter by title and grace. |
