| Reverse description | The central field features the numeral '4' surmounted by a small cross, with the denomination legend 'PFEN' inscribed below, all within a plain inner circle. The date 1643 appears beneath the denomination text, divided by a small cross or ornament. The outer legend, in Latin capitals, reads EPIS MONAS BAVA DVX, an abbreviation for Episcopus Monasteriensis Bavariae Dux, affirming Ferdinand's ecclesiastical and secular titles as Bishop of Münster and Duke of Bavaria. The lettering is characteristic of the crude but legible style typical of small hammered silver pfennig coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. The flan shows slight irregularity consistent with hand-struck production. |
