| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the eight-spoked Wheel of Osnabrück, a heraldic device associated with the bishopric, depicted in relief. A circular legend surrounds the wheel, incorporating the date 1619, with the inscription reading WIDENBRVG or similar, all rendered in Latin script. The design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German municipal copper coinage produced by hammering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wiedenbrück's copper pfennig issues of 1619 fall squarely within the catastrophic monetary environment of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the "clipping and see-sawing" crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire from roughly 1618 onward, driven by princes and municipalities systematically debasing coinage to profit from arbitrage between face value and metal content. Small civic copper issues like this one often emerged precisely because larger silver denominations had become so unreliable that local authorities stepped in with low-denomination emergency coinage to keep daily commerce functional.
Kennepohl's documentation of Westphalian municipal issues remains the authoritative reference for this series.
