| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Paderborn, incorporating the crossed keys of the see alongside the family arms of the Asseburg dynasty, the whole surmounted by a princely crowned helmet with elaborate mantling and a crosier visible to the right. The shield is displayed on an ornate baroque cartouche with foliate scroll supports. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery reading the bishop's full titulature, interrupted by pellet stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
William Anthony of Asseburg served as Prince-Bishop of Paderborn from 1763 until his death in 1782, but his coinage tenure was effectively curtailed by the broader collapse of small-denomination billon production across the ecclesiastical principalities of the Holy Roman Empire during the early 1770s — a direct consequence of currency debasement wars between competing German states that made low-silver fractional issues economically unviable to produce honestly.
The Asseburg family held the see through imperial patronage rather than popular support, and the bishopric's minting activity during this period was modest by any measure. The truncated issue window of 1764–1772 likely reflects this political fragility more than any mint-side disruption.
