| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Kilian, patron saint of Würzburg, depicted in episcopal vestments and mitre, holding a sword in his right hand and a crozier in his left. The saint stands within a beaded inner circle against a plain field, with a Gothic uncial legend encircling the design in the outer border. The rendering is characteristic of mid-fifteenth century German hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gottfried IV Schenk von Limpurg served as Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1443 to 1455, a tenure marked by persistent friction with the city's burghers over taxation and jurisdictional rights — tensions that had plagued the see for generations and would eventually erupt into open conflict under his successors. The Franconian episcopal mints of this period operated under constant pressure to produce small-denomination silver for local trade, with the schilling filling the gap between the pfennig and heavier struck coinage.
Saur 1328 and Ehwald 5601 cross-reference this type within a tightly documented series, suggesting die documentation is reasonably complete for the issue.
