| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a seated bishop in full pontifical vestments, shown facing forward in a frontal or slightly three-quarter pose, holding a crozier in his left hand and raising his right hand in benediction. The figure is rendered in the late Gothic style typical of early sixteenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. A circular beaded inner border frames the effigy, with a Gothic legend running along the outer periphery reading ERIC: EP: OS - B: Z. PA: D: B., abbreviating the title and name of Erich II of Brunswick-Grubenhagen as Bishop of Osnabrück. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consists of a large crossed keys motif — the arms of the Bishopric of Osnabrück — with a spoked wheel (the emblem of Osnabrück) prominently placed in the lower portion of the field, consistent with the heraldic tradition of the see. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a Gothic circular legend running along the outer border reading MON - ETA - OSB., abbreviated from Moneta Osnabrugensis, identifying this as an official coinage of Osnabrück. The overall design reflects the hammered, hand-struck production technique of early sixteenth-century German ecclesiastical mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erich II of Brunswick-Grubenhagen held the bishopric of Osnabrück from 1508 to 1532, a tenure that coincided with the earliest tremors of the Reformation — a movement that would eventually strip Osnabrück of its Catholic ecclesiastical authority entirely within a generation of his death. The diocese was already financially stretched during his episcopate, and fractional silver of this denomination was a practical response to chronic shortages of small change in the regional market economy of Lower Saxony.
Kennepohl's corpus remains the authoritative reference for Osnabrück episcopal coinage; MB#19 cross-references confirm attribution but add little beyond die documentation.
