| Beschrijving voorzijde | City arms of Ahlen displayed in the central field, rendered in a stylized early 17th-century manner. A circular legend surrounds the shield, reading STADT ALEN with the date 1610 incorporated into the inscription. The coin shows characteristic hammered production with irregular flan edges and uneven strike typical of German municipal coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahlen, a small Westphalian town under the ecclesiastical authority of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, issued copper pfennig coinage in the early seventeenth century during a period when chronic shortages of small-denomination specie forced German municipalities to produce their own fiduciary coinage. The Holy Roman Empire's inability to enforce consistent small-change policy across its fragmented territories left towns like Ahlen essentially self-sufficient in this respect.
The Weingärtner Westfalens attribution anchors this piece firmly within the regional Notmünzen tradition of the Münsterland.
