| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of this hammered pfennig is essentially blank or shows only incuse impressions of the obverse design transferred through the thin silver flan during striking, a feature common to uniface or near-uniface bracteate-type issues of the period. The surface displays natural die flow lines and flan irregularities with no deliberate reverse design or legend. The plain, unworked field confirms the coin's classification as a simple, low-denomination circulation piece intended for local ecclesiastical and regional commerce within the Abbey of Reichenau's domain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Reichenau, on its island in Lake Constance, had held minting rights since the Carolingian period, but by the late fifteenth century the institution was in steep economic decline — its monastic community shrinking, its debts accumulating. Abbot Martin of Krenkingen governed during this difficult contraction, and these tiny silver pfennigs represent some of the last coinage struck under abbatial authority before Reichenau's minting privileges became effectively dormant.
