| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is uniface, presenting a plain, flat, and featureless field with no design, legend, or inscription, typical of small hammered bracteate-style pfennig coinage of the period. The surface shows the natural texture of the hammered silver flan, with slight irregularities consistent with hand-struck production. No mint mark, date, or symbolic device is present on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Worms in 1626 was a city operating under extraordinary pressure — the Thirty Years' War was in its seventh year, imperial armies were moving through the Rhineland, and municipal finances were in ruins across the region. Small silver pfennigs of this type were emergency municipal issues, struck because the disruption of normal trade networks made small-denomination coinage critically scarce. The City of Worms retained enough autonomy to strike its own coins, but that autonomy would erode sharply within a few years as the war deepened.
At 0.37g, the silver content was minimal even by the debased standards of the Kipper und Wipperzeit period that had immediately preceded it.
