| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a standing frontal figure of the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven, crowned with a radiate nimbus or halo, draped in flowing robes, with arms raised or extended in an orant posture. The figure is rendered in the late medieval hammered style with detailed drapery lines. The surrounding legend reads MARIA . M ATER . DOM (Maria Mater Domini — Mary, Mother of the Lord), distributed around the inner border with pellet stops. A beaded inner border frames the design, consistent with the hammered coinage technique of mid-16th century German civic mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Korbach, a small Hessian town with Hanseatic trading ties, struck municipal coinage in the sixteenth century under rights granted by the Holy Roman Empire — a privilege jealously maintained against encroachment from the Landgraves of Hesse. The Mariengroschen denomination was a north German workhorse unit, widely accepted across multiple principalities and ecclesiastical territories, which made municipal issues like this one genuinely competitive in regional trade.
MB#8 is a scarce type; Korbach's civic mint operated only intermittently, and 1567 falls within a period of documented monetary tension following the Leipzig Münzvertrag of 1566, which attempted to standardize coinage across the Reich.
