| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central quartered coat of arms of the Bishopric of Speyer displayed within an ornate shield, dividing the date in the field. The episcopal arms feature the characteristic checky and cross quarters associated with the see of Speyer. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield bearing the titles and name of Bishop Marquard of Hattstein. The overall design is characteristic of mid-16th century German ecclesiastical hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marquard von Hattstein served as Prince-Bishop of Speyer from 1560 to 1581, his tenure bracketed by the confessional chaos of the Reformation's aftermath in the Rhineland-Palatinate. The Bishopric was under sustained pressure from Calvinist and Lutheran territorial neighbors, and small-denomination silver issues like this one kept ecclesiastical coinage circulating in a region where secular Protestant princes were actively undermining episcopal authority.
The Kreuzer series attributed to Ehrend I#5/76d is among the more precisely documented of Marquard's minor issues, though die wear and short production windows mean individual specimens vary considerably in sharpness.
