| Opschrift voorzijde | REInHARD DE SChOnEVORST (Translation: Reinhard of Schönforst) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a plain Greek cross with equal arms, set within a beaded inner circle, characteristic of the schilling coinage type of the Lower Rhine region. An inner legend band in uncial Gothic script carries the Christogram acclamation XPC ⋮ VINCIT ⋮ XPC ⋮ REGNAT ⋮ XPC ⋮ IMPERAT, separated by pellet stops, referencing the traditional medieval liturgical formula affirming Christ's dominion. An outer legend band reads MOnETA ⁑ SCOnVORS, identifying the coin as the money of Schönforst. Both legends are separated by a beaded circle, and the whole is enclosed within a dentilated outer rim on an irregularly shaped hammered flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Schönforst was a minor Rhenish lordship whose coinage rights were exercised by Reinhard I during a period when the lower Rhine was saturated with competing local issues — many of them debased. This piece falls within that fractious monetary environment where smaller lords struck silver partly to assert jurisdictional standing, partly because the demand for small-denomination coin genuinely outpaced what the larger minting authorities could supply.
The Menadier reference places this among a tightly catalogued group; the vdCh 8 variants 29.11–12 indicate at least two documented die pairings exist for this type.
