Beschrijving voorzijde Half-length frontal effigy of St. Peter enthroned, vested in ecclesiastical robes, holding a patriarchal cross-staff in his right hand and a crozier in his left. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of Rhenish coinage of the early fifteenth century. The surrounding legend reads REINALD DVX IVIL GEL, identifying the issuing authority as Duke Reinald of Jülich-Geldern.

Beschrijving keerzijde The heraldic lion of Jülich, displayed on a shield, set within a trefoil frame. In the three outer angles of the trefoil are disposed the subsidiary arms: the arms of Münzenberg (as used by the Archbishopric of Trier and the Archbishopric of Mainz) and the arms of Bavaria representing the Rhenish Palatinate, reflecting the monetary alliance under which this Weißpfennig was struck. The surrounding legend identifies the coin as a nova moneta of Jülich-Geldern.

Aanvullende informatie

Reinald of Jülich's brief monetary output in these years was tied directly to the administrative chaos following the disputed succession that had plagued the duchy since the death of Wilhelm II. The Weißpfennig — literally "white penny," named for the bright appearance of freshly struck billon or low-grade silver — was a workhorse denomination of the lower Rhineland, used heavily in local market transactions where larger silver was impractical.

Noss JMA#162 is among the less frequently catalogued Jülich types in dealer stock, owing more to the duchy's relatively modest mint output than to any dramatic historical disruption.
