| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three facing full-length figures in high relief occupy the field: Saint Ursula stands in the center wearing a crown and flowing robes, sheltering smaller figures beneath her extended cloak, flanked to each side by an armored knight. The civic arms of Cologne, featuring three crowns, appear on a shield below center, supported by two small female figures in a heraldic arrangement. The entire composition is executed in the bold, late Gothic figural style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Rhenish coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, and the date 1512 is incorporated into the surrounding circular Latin legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cologne's civic coinage in the early sixteenth century occupied an awkward political position: the city was technically subject to its archbishop yet functioned with substantial mercantile autonomy, and its large silver strikes reflect that tension — issued on civic authority to facilitate Rhenish trade at a moment when the Guldengroschen format was spreading rapidly across the Empire following Maximilian I's Hall mint productions of the 1480s and 1490s. Whether Cologne's 1512 issue was struck with imperial sanction or on the city's own initiative remains a point of scholarly contention.
