Aanvullende informatie	Göttingen maintained the right to strike its own municipal coinage well into the early modern period, a privilege jealously guarded by the city council against the encroachments of the Welf dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg. The Groschen was the backbone of north German commercial exchange, and Göttingen's issues circulated widely through the Hanseatic trade network despite the city never holding full Hanseatic membership. Kruse's reference G 2.19 places this piece within a closely sequenced die study — the numbering suggests a relatively precise attribution within a small group of related municipal issues.
