Reverse description Central field displays a large heraldic shield combining the arms of Trier (a cross) impaled with the arms of Ziegenhain (a six-pointed star on a diaper-patterned field), enclosed within a pointed oval or vesica-shaped inner border formed by a beaded frame. The composition is characteristic of Rhenish goldgulden reverse types of the early fifteenth century, with the arms clearly dominating the flan. The outer legend in Gothic uncial script reads + MOnETA nOVA WESALIEn, identifying this as a new coinage struck at the mint city of Wesel, separated from the shield by a beaded inner circle.
