| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination III PFEN in two lines across the central field, serving as a clear statement of value. The date 1647 (or 1648 for the second year of issue) is integrated into the legend alongside the inscription EPIS MONAS BAVA DVX, identifying Ferdinand as Bishop of Münster and Duke of Bavaria. The legend is arranged in a circular format around the central denomination text. The hammered strike produces a somewhat rough, uneven surface typical of minor ecclesiastical coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. The design is simple and functional, emphasizing legibility of the value and issuer over artistic elaboration. |
