| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Corvey Abbey, surmounted by an elaborate mitred bishop's crown or abbatial mitre. The shield is flanked by decorative scroll-work mantling. A circular Latin legend reading MON. NOV. AB. CORB. (Nova Moneta Abbatiae Corbeiensis) runs along the coin's periphery. The overall design is characteristic of the Kipper period, struck on a roughly flan with irregular edges typical of hastily produced emergency coinage. |
