@Kooij: First, my compliments on your series of coats of arms!
Being myself involved in photographing selected coins for Commons, I note that e.g. one Thaler we have documented (from 1666, by John Frederick of the Principality of Calenberg) shows this very coat of arms, so I have inserted a link, and Welter's standard catalogue depicts many more such. However, even with as large a coin as a Thaler and with this particular specimen's excellent preservation, the intricately subdivided 7th quarter (=Alt-/Neu-Bruchhausen) is barely discernible.
Arguably for this reason I find that, at least on coins, there exists a variant slightly simplified in the 7th quarter, e.g. on the same ruler's 1679 funeral coin, as well as on many others shown in Welter. Kindly take a look (at full resolution), and perhaps you may want to also create this variant in your series. Thanks, --HReuter (talk) 02:52, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Another, similar coin added for illustration. Also, the tips of the antlers in quarters 10 and 12 are pointing upwards on all three coins rather than downwards. -- HReuter (talk) 11:50, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
