| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Münster and the personal arms of Bishop Erich of Sachsen-Lauenburg, surmounted by a bishop's mitre or crown. Flanking the shield are foliate or decorative supporters in the Gothic style typical of early sixteenth-century ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the inner border, partially legible, with the bishop's name ERIC referenced in the inscription. The coin was struck by the hammer method, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with characteristic uneven surfaces. The design is rendered in the late Gothic tradition of the Westphalian episcopal mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Erich of Saxe-Lauenburg held the bishopric of Münster from 1508 until his death in 1522, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the cathedral chapter over financial authority and episcopal prerogatives. The small silver pfennig coinage of this period was produced to meet everyday transactional demand in the Westphalian market economy, where larger denominations from neighboring territories circulated alongside locally struck minor coin. Ilisch's corpus remains the definitive reference for Münster episcopal coinage, cataloguing die relationships that would otherwise leave many of these issues unattributable.
