| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central ornamental design featuring a decorative cruciform or floral motif composed of interlaced foliate elements radiating from a central boss, consistent with the decorative vocabulary of small hammered billon coinage of the period. Small pellets or annulets appear in the angles between the foliate branches. A Latin legend encircles the design along the periphery of the irregularly struck flan, though portions are weak or off-flan due to the hammered striking technique. The overall execution reflects the modest engraving standards typical of a minor lordship mint operating in the early seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Reckheim was a tiny imperial lordship on the Meuse, perpetually caught between the Spanish Netherlands and the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, and its right to strike coin was contested almost from the start. Ernest of Lynden held the lordship from 1592 and exploited his imperial minting privilege aggressively — billon stivers of this type were struck across more than three decades, flooding a region already saturated with debased small coinage from a dozen competing local authorities.
Lucas 246 remains the standard reference for Reckheim coinage, though die varieties within this type are poorly documented.
