| Additional information |
Theodore von Fürstenberg's tenure as Prince-Bishop of Paderborn was defined largely by the aggressive reimplementation of Catholicism in a diocese badly fractured by decades of Protestant encroachment — a project that required both political maneuvering and functioning local coinage. Small silver issues like this groschen circulated alongside the broader currency chaos of the pre-Kipper era, just years before the catastrophic debasement wave of 1619–1622 would render much of the Empire's petty coinage worthless. Fürstenberg died in 1618, sparing him the worst of it.
