| Obverse description | The heraldic rearing horse of Brunswick, facing left, depicted in bold relief atop a ground line, serving as the dynastic emblem of the duchy. The surrounding circular legend reads ANT ULR D G DUX BR ET LUNEB, identifying the ruler Anthony Ulrich by the grace of God as Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg. The legend is rendered in Latin script and runs along the inner border of the coin's circumference. The overall style is characteristic of early 18th-century German provincial coinage. |

| Additional information |
Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel until his death in 1714, but the final decade of his reign was dominated by the War of the Spanish Succession, in which Brunswick troops fought under Marlborough's coalition. Small-denomination silver issues like this sixpfennig circulated heavily among soldiers and tradespeople — the kind of coin that paid for bread, not politics. The Welter reference places it among a well-documented series, though die variation within the 1707–1713 run is not unusual for a mint operating under wartime fiscal pressure.
