| Beschrijving voorzijde | Displayed Brandenburg eagle with spread wings, bearing a scepter-charged shield on its breast, set within a beaded inner circle. The eagle is rendered in the bold, somewhat archaic style characteristic of mid-16th century German hammered coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads IOACHIM MARC BRAN ELECTOR, identifying the issuer as Joachim II Hector, Margrave of Brandenburg and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. The ornamental stops and the numeral 5Z appear within the legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Joachim II Hector converted Brandenburg to Lutheranism in 1539 — notably later than most neighboring Protestant territories, and driven in part by his need to retain Habsburg support rather than genuine theological urgency. His father Joachim I had been a staunch Catholic, and the transition reshaped Brandenburg's ecclesiastical finances dramatically, secularizing church properties that funded considerable expenditure at the electoral court.
The long date range on this issue reflects continuous production across a politically turbulent reign rather than a single minting episode. Joachim II died deeply in debt, having borrowed extensively from Bohemian and Silesian creditors — obligations his successors spent decades resolving.
