| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a bold cross pattée or long cross dividing the reverse into four quarters, each containing a portion of the surrounding Latin legend. The arms of the cross are broad and slightly flared at the terminals, consistent with mid-sixteenth-century German hammered coinage style. The inscription NOR - DNI - AIB - OTI. is distributed across the four quadrants formed by the cross, likely representing an abbreviated devotional or civic formula. Small pellets or stops separate the legend segments, and the entire design is contained within a plain circular border. The hammered flan shows slight irregularity at the edges, as is typical for this period and denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Herford's Körtling coinage belongs to a dense cluster of minor north German silver issues struck by episcopal and civic authorities in the sixteenth century, when small-denomination specie was chronically short across the Westphalian region. The city held imperial free status, which gave it the legal standing to mint — though the actual exercise of that right was intermittent and often contested by the Bishop of Minden, whose territorial ambitions repeatedly bumped against Herford's civic independence.
At 0.58 grams, these pieces circulated hard and wore quickly. Survivors in any discernible detail are the exception.
