| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Silesian eagle displayed in the field, rendered in a bold, stylised medieval manner characteristic of hammered bracteate-influenced coinage. The eagle faces forward with wings spread and displayed, tail feathers visible at the base. The figure occupies the full coin field with no surrounding legend or border inscription. The relief is strong and irregular, consistent with hand-struck production of the mid-fifteenth century. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A wolf or bear-like quadruped striding to the left occupies the central field, rendered in a crude but expressive medieval style. The animal's fur is indicated by textured, engraved strokes, and its head is turned slightly, with visible snout and ear. A small additional figure or heraldic element appears to the right of the animal, though worn and difficult to identify precisely. No surrounding legend is present; the field is otherwise plain. The composition is consistent with municipal heraldic imagery associated with Münsterberg. |

Münsterberg's heller issues from this period fall within the reign of Duke Bolko II of Münsterberg, whose control over the town's minting rights was a persistent point of friction with the Bohemian crown. The Hussite Wars had severely disrupted silver circulation throughout Silesia in the 1420s, creating genuine local demand for small-denomination coinage that larger regional mints were failing to supply.
Municipal heller issues from Silesian towns of this period are poorly documented in surviving mint records, and attribution to specific years within a stated range is rarely possible with confidence.
