| Beschrijving voorzijde | The prancing horse of Brunswick, facing left, occupies the central field — the traditional heraldic emblem of the duchy rendered in bold relief. Beneath the horse, within an oval cartouche, appears the denomination numeral VI. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading the names and titles of the joint rulers Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich as Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneburg, separated by pellets. The coin is framed by an inner beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rudolph August had ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel alone for over two decades before reluctantly accepting his younger brother Anthony Ulrich as co-ruler in 1685 — a partnership driven less by affection than by ducal politics and Anthony Ulrich's persistent maneuvering. The joint coinage that followed documents a genuinely uneasy arrangement. Anthony Ulrich was the more ambitious of the two, later converting to Catholicism in 1710 to smooth his dynastic ambitions, a move that scandalized Protestant Lower Saxony.
The four-year window of jointly-attributed issues is narrow, ending with Rudolph August's death in 1704.
