| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a four-line inscription in large Gothic-influenced characters across the field, reading '1683 / VI / PFENNI / TECLB', with the denomination numeral '42' enclosed within a curved cartouche or arc at the base, indicating the coin's value as 1/42 of a Thaler in contemporary reckoning. Small six-pointed rosette or star ornaments flank the 'VI' denomination line, serving as decorative spacers. The date '1683' appears across the top of the field, flanked by pellet stops. The lettering is bold and occupies virtually the entire flan, characteristic of small billon pfennig coinage of the German territorial states. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Adolph ruled Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda during a period of acute fiscal pressure across the small German territories, many still recovering economically from the Thirty Years' War's aftermath decades prior. Billon coinage at this weight was a common response by minor counts who lacked the silver reserves to strike respectable currency but needed fractional denominations in circulation. The county's monetary output was modest and intermittent, which is why individual issues are rarely encountered today.
Kennepohl's cataloguing of Bentheim coinage remains the authoritative reference for this series, and the 129a designation indicates a specific die variety within what is already a scarce type.
