1 Pfennig 'Buchstabenpfennig'

Obverse description	Within a plain inner circle, a boldly rendered Gothic capital letter 'B' occupies the central field, executed in high relief with characteristic medieval calligraphic style. The letter, which likely serves as an abbreviation for Hildesheim's civic identity or a bishop's initial, is flanked by the raised inner ring border. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered bracteate-related coinage of the period. The design is minimalist, typical of the so-called 'Buchstabenpfennig' (letter pfennig) type issued by the city of Hildesheim during the late 14th century.

Reverse description	As a thin hammered pfennig, the reverse displays an incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, showing the Gothic letter 'B' in intaglio relief, a characteristic feature of the bracteate-influenced pfennig coinage of northern Germany in the medieval period. The surface is plain and unadorned, with the natural texture of the hammered silver flan visible.
