| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a full-length allegorical female figure stands playing a large lute, depicted in Baroque style with flowing robes and long hair, set against a detailed panoramic landscape of the Lautenthal mining district in the Harz Mountains, with hills, forests, and mine buildings visible in the background. To the left and right of the figure, radiant suns emit beams of light, with the Tetragrammaton (divine name in Hebrew) inscribed within the right-hand solar motif. At the figure's feet lies a mining windlass or ore-lifting device, referencing the silver mining output (Ausbeute) that funded the coin. The circumferential legend TU TANDEM ABIECTAM REDDES DEUS ALMA SONORAM encircles the entire scene within a wreath-style beaded border. |
