| Aversbeschreibung | Three-quarter-length draped bust of Duke George William facing left, set within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a ring of fourteen crowned armorial shields representing the territorial titles of the Brunswick-Lüneburg dynasty, interspersed with foliate branches. The date 1660 appears divided at the top of the shield border. A rope or cable border frames the entire design at the coin's edge. The Latin legend encircles the central portrait between the inner beaded ring and the shield border. |

| Reversbeschreibung | An elaborate allegorical scene depicts two seated female figures representing Piety and Justice in a landscape setting, flanking the numeral '6' at lower left. Piety, draped and seated at left beside a flowering tree, faces Justice at right, who holds a sword and scales. Above, a disembodied arm emerges from clouds at upper right, extending a laurel wreath toward the figures, with radiating rays suggesting divine benediction. A fortified townscape appears in the middle distance at right. The split legend PIETATE ET JUSTITIA is arranged along the upper rim within a rope border. |

The 6-thaler denomination was essentially a display piece masquerading as currency — struck at this scale to be presented as diplomatic gifts or awarded to officers and officials rather than spent. Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg was at the time still navigating the fragmented inheritance arrangements that had divided the Welf territories for generations; George William held Calenberg from 1648 until his line's absorption into Celle, and large presentation strikes were a standard tool of dynastic self-promotion among the smaller German principalities competing for imperial attention in the decades after Westphalia.
