Kleines Loch. (Germany, duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, Henry Julius, 1589-1613, quintuple thaler of 1609, Zellerfeld mint, '5' punched into the obverse, mintmaster Heinrich Öckeler. Obverse: armored and mounted duke ride to left, holding a marshal's baton, city view of Wolfenbuttel in background; reverse: five helmented arms.
