3 Pfennig St. Remigius Stift Borken

The St. Remigius collegiate chapter at Borken held the right to issue small copper coinage as part of the broader ecclesiastical minting privileges that scattered across the Prince-Bishopric of Münster throughout the sixteenth century. Such chapter issues were strictly local, circulating within the immediate market town and its dependencies rather than across any wider territory. The 3 Pfennig denomination sat at the absolute lower end of practical commerce — bread, small measures of grain, tolls at minor crossings.

Borken itself remained a modest Westphalian town whose economy depended heavily on linen production and regional agricultural trade throughout this period.
