| Reverse description | A bold fourfold cross with split or cleft ends, sometimes described as a cross patée variant, centered in the field and enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The cross arms extend nearly to the inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. A circular legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs along the outer margin, consistent with the municipal coinage conventions of Goslar in the early sixteenth century. |

| Additional information |
Goslar's mining wealth from the Rammelsberg ore deposit — one of the most productive silver sources in medieval Europe — meant the city could sustain its own coinage long after many comparable free imperial cities had ceded minting rights. The Tumeler denomination itself was a regional small silver peculiar to the northwestern German minting sphere, and by 1503 Goslar was among its last consistent producers.
