| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consisting of two crossed keys surmounted by a crozier or episcopal symbols, all enclosed within a Gothic shield or ornamental frame, referencing the heraldic arms of the Bishopric of Minden. The shield is set within a decorative inner circle with a beaded border. A circular Latin legend reading MON: NOV: MINDENSIS: surrounds the central device, punctuated by stops, identifying this as a new coinage of Minden. The overall composition is characteristic of late medieval German episcopal coinage struck by the hammer technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bishopric of Minden, a prince-bishopric on the Weser, operated with considerable monetary autonomy during this period despite ongoing pressure from the Hanseatic League to conform to regional coinage standards. Francis I of Minden — Franz von Kerssenbrock, bishop from 1508 to 1532 — presided over a diocese already financially strained by the costs of maintaining secular administration alongside ecclesiastical obligations. The date range on this issue likely reflects a protracted striking period rather than a single emission, not unusual for smaller ecclesiastical mints working against inconsistent bullion supply.
