| Beschrijving keerzijde | Large cross pattée centred in the field, inspired by the Tournois gros type, with a beaded inner circle enclosing the cross and dividing the two concentric legends. The inner legend contains the date and city reference, while the outer legend names the mint city Aachen (AQVS') and identifies the coin as urban coinage (MONETA VRB'). The two-line legend arrangement separated by a beaded border is characteristic of the Groschen Tournois tradition as adopted by Rhenish minting authorities in the early fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aachen's right to strike silver coinage was a perpetual flashpoint with the archbishops of Cologne, who claimed overlapping monetary authority in the region throughout the fifteenth century. This groschen tournois type — modeled on the French gros tournois but thoroughly germanized in execution — reflects the city's insistence on exercising its imperial minting privilege independently, a privilege confirmed and re-confirmed by successive emperors precisely because it was so frequently contested. The tournois form had been commercially dominant in Rhineland trade for over a century by 1419, which explains the conservative typological choice long after the French prototype had itself evolved.
