This small, silver "Rekenpenning" (counting token) from Nuremberg was created by Hans Krauwinckel sometime between 1575 and 1625. The token is a small circular object, only 2.9 cm in diameter and weighing 4.67 grams. The front depicts a coat of arms with the inscription "CIVITAS IN SINGVLI." The back shows a beast with seven heads and ten horns, and the inscription "MERITRIX. APOCALYPSIS CAP.XVII." This imagery draws upon the Book of Revelation, referencing the "Great Harlot" and her seven-headed beast with many horns.
