The coin's obverse features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, dressed in armor and holding a sword, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the principality. The coin was minted in 1616, during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, and its design reflects the importance of the ruling family and the state's military power.
