| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a quatrefoil arrangement of four heraldic shields within an inner beaded circle, representing the arms of the four principal ecclesiastical electors of the Rhenish monetary union: Cologne (cross), Mainz (wheel), Trier (cross), and the Palatinate (lion). The shields are disposed around a central ornamental boss. A circular legend in Gothic uncial script surrounds the composition along the outer margin, reading MONETA NOVA RENENSIS, identifying this as a new Rhenish coinage. The design follows the established typology of the Rhenish albus series introduced in the late medieval period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cologne's municipal coinage in this period existed in direct tension with the Archbishop's competing mint rights — the city had fought for and secured imperial recognition of its independent minting authority in the fifteenth century, and the albus was the workhorse denomination that made that autonomy economically visible. The Rhenish albus was by this date a regional unit of account as much as a coin, with Cologne's issues commanding particular acceptance along the Rhine trade corridor.
The range of Noss references cited here reflects genuine die variety across the issue's decade-long run, not condition differences.
