| Additional information |
Paderborn's municipal copper issues of the early seventeenth century were minted under the shadow of ongoing tension between the city and the prince-bishopric that surrounded it — a conflict over civic autonomy that would eventually see the city lose its independent minting rights entirely. This piece dates to a period when the city still exercised that privilege, however precariously.
The KM#355.1 designation distinguishes this from at least one die variant catalogued under the same type in Weingärtner's Westfalen corpus.
