Reverse description Within a beaded inner circle, a three-line inscription reading II / MARI / GRO, denoting the denomination of 2 Mariengroschen, flanked by decorative rosette stops. The surrounding circular legend FORTITER RECTE PIE — the motto of Bishop Theodor Adolf von der Recke meaning 'Boldly, Rightly, Piously' — runs along the outer field. The overall design is consistent with hammered ecclesiastical small coinage of the Westphalian region in the mid-17th century.
