| Aversbeschreibung | Central shield bearing the four-fold quartered arms of Eppstein-Münzenberg, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The date 1527 is inscribed above the shield in the upper field. The circular legend MONETA*NOVA*NORDLING runs around the periphery, partially inverted at the base as is characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. The overall design is executed in a bold, late-Gothic heraldic style typical of early sixteenth-century German minor coinage. |

Königstein was a small imperial county in the Taunus region, and the counts had limited but real minting rights granted under the broader framework of imperial coinage privileges. Eberhard IV was the last Count of Königstein; when he died in 1535 without a legitimate heir, the county passed to the Archbishopric of Mainz. This coin was struck in the final decade of his rule, during which the Protestant Reformation was fracturing the political and ecclesiastical alliances on which small Rhenish lordships depended for survival.
The Batzen denomination itself originated in Bern around 1492 and spread rapidly across the German-speaking lands as a convenient mid-value silver piece. Königstein's adoption of it reflects the denomination's dominance in regional trade by the early sixteenth century.
