Goslar or Zellerfeld mint.Unlisted in Krause, but similarities to KM#227 (see link) though here the duke is bareheaded, and the date reverse is in modern (not Roman) numerals.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers - Frederick Ulrich (Löser) 1618 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a lion on one side, which was a symbol of power and strength in the region at the time.
