The circumferential Latin legend, separated by a decorative cross rosette stop, reads MONET * NOVA * BRVNSWICENS., running clockwise along the outer border between the beaded circle and the coin's rim.

Aanvullende informatie

Brunswick's civic coinage of the 1560s was produced under constant friction between the city council and the surrounding Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, whose dukes periodically contested the city's minting rights. The half thaler denomination served heavy commercial traffic along the Hanseatic routes passing through the region, where full thalers were sometimes too large for mid-range transactions.

Jesse's reference places this among a tightly grouped series struck before the city's eventual capitulation to ducal authority in the following decades ended its independent minting operations.
