| Reverse description | The reverse presents a quartered or divided heraldic shield within a beaded inner circle, incorporating the arms associated with the joint Osnabrück-Münster municipal issue. Gothic trefoil or quatrefoil ornaments appear at intervals around the shield, a decorative convention common to Rhenish-style goldgulden of the period. A circular uncial Latin legend runs along the outer margin, partially worn but consistent with civic and episcopal titulature. The field displays the flat, lightly recessed characteristics of hammered gold coinage struck from hand-engraved dies. The overall design closely follows the Rhenish goldgulden tradition adopted by participating Westphalian towns in the mid-15th century. |
