Quote: is this a bread pfennig (mereau) distributed to the poor? The reverse inscription is suggestive of this, but I think this is a regular issue (#KM427). Saint Paul is depicted on many of the coins of Munster, as a patron saint of the city (the cathedral there is dedicated to him). I like this traditional representation of the saint in which he holds the instruments of his first profession (he was a Roman solder before his conversion) and his second (presumably the book is his influential writings). Really a lovely coin!

Very impressive that the wear pattern missed the date and mint mark!

Quote: 1714 -- Cathedral Chapter of Munster, 4 pfennig:
is this a bread pfennig (mereau) distributed to the poor? This is KM# 427 from the Cathedral Chapter, which (in Krause) is separate from the City and the Bishopric. It appears to be a regular coin issued by the Bursar of the Cathedral.
