| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, a facing full-length figure of St. Vitus, patron saint of the Abbey of Corvey, is depicted in vestments with arms extended, standing in a frontal hieratic pose typical of medieval ecclesiastical coinage. A small shield appears to the lower left of the figure. The date appears at the end of the circular Latin legend surrounding the inner circle, identifying the saint as martyr. The style reflects the crude but expressive hammered workmanship of mid-16th-century German abbey coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corvey's coinage authority rested on imperial privileges stretching back centuries, but by the 1540s the abbey was financially precarious and politically squeezed between the ambitions of the Prince-Bishops of Paderborn and the encroaching influence of Lutheran reform in Westphalia. Francis Ketteler served as abbot during a particularly turbulent stretch of that pressure. The Körtling — a small regional silver denomination peculiar to northwest German ecclesiastical minting — was already an anachronism by this date, issued more to assert jurisdictional presence than to meet any genuine commercial demand.
