| Aversbeschreibung | Central field bears the quartered arms of the Abbey of Corvey, surmounted by an abbatial mitre and flanked by a pastoral staff (crozier) to the right, all set within an ornate baroque cartouche with foliate mantling. The shield displays the characteristic Corvey quarters including the abbey's traditional heraldic devices. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire composition, reading CHRIST. EL. E. CONF. AB. COR. S. R. I. P., identifying Christoph von Bellinghausen as elected and confirmed Abbot of Corvey and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's milled border is clearly visible at the rim. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Corvey, a Benedictine abbey on the Weser in Westphalia, held the status of an imperial abbey — answerable to the Emperor rather than any territorial prince — and that independence is precisely why it could strike coins at all. Christopher of Bellinghausen served as prince-abbot from 1678 to 1696, a period during which the abbey's coining activity was modest but consistent. The 16 Gute Groschen denomination was peculiar to the north German monetary system, tied to the Lübisch standard rather than the Reichstaler conventions dominant elsewhere.
Corvey's mint output from this decade is scarce in commerce today, partly because the abbey's secular territories were small and coin circulation was correspondingly limited.
