| Reverse description | The reverse of the host thaler depicts a wild man (Wilder Mann), a heraldic figure of the Brunswick tradition, standing facing and holding an uprooted pine tree over his right shoulder, rendered with naturalistic detail against an open field. The encircling Latin legend DEO ET PATRIA (To God and Fatherland) surrounds the central device, with the date ANNO 1615 appearing in the lower portion of the legend, indicating the original striking date of the host thaler. A second Russian countermark bearing the Cyrillic inscription РУБЛЬ and the date 1655 is stamped prominently in the field, applied by the Moscow Mint to designate the coin's valuation as one Jefimok Rouble within the Muscovite monetary system. The combination of Latin and Cyrillic legends on this piece reflects its dual origin as a repurposed Western European trade coin. The reverse die work is consistent with standard Brunswick thaler production of the early seventeenth century. |
