| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central crowned baroque cartouche bearing a four-fold quartered coat of arms with a central escutcheon of Münsterberg, set within an ornate baroque frame. The heraldic shield is surmounted by a crown and flanked by decorative scrollwork typical of early seventeenth-century Silesian coinage. The surrounding Latin legend identifies the two co-ruling dukes by their abbreviated titles. The overall design displays the elaborate emblematic style characteristic of the Kipper und Wipper inflation coinage period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin belongs to the Kipper und Wipperzeit — the catastrophic currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623. Minor princes, imperial cities, and ecclesiastical lords alike exploited a gap in monetary oversight to mint vast quantities of heavily debased coinage, then rapidly exchanged it for full-weight currency before the scheme collapsed. Münsterberg-Oels was among the smaller Silesian duchies drawn into this spiral, jointly administered at the time by the brothers Henry Wenceslaus and Charles Frederick I.
The 48 Kreuzer denomination was itself a creature of the crisis — an artificial unit designed to extract maximum seigniorage.
