| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two heraldic shields placed side by side within a beaded border: the dexter shield charged with a cross, the sinister shield charged with an upraised hand, the traditional civic arms of Schwäbisch Hall. Above the shields rises the upper body of an imperial eagle with spread wings, while the eagle's tail feathers protrude below the shields. The design is rendered in the crude, bold style typical of late medieval German hammered bracteate-style pfennigs, with no legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Schwäbisch Hall's pfennig coinage occupied a peculiar niche in the fragmented currency geography of the Holy Roman Empire — the city's mint rights derived from its salt trade wealth, and these tiny silver pieces circulated alongside the far more famous Heller that Hall had already been producing for centuries. The span from 1494 to 1611 encompasses the Reformation's full disruption of civic and ecclesiastical authority in the region, yet the city's minting operation continued largely uninterrupted, a function of its status as a Free Imperial City.
At 0.31 g, metal loss from even light handling is archaeologically detectable, which is why excavated examples almost always read below weight.
