| Beschrijving voorzijde | Rampant lion facing left, depicted with an eagle's head, rendered in the Romanesque style typical of 13th-century Bavarian bracteate-influenced coinage. The body of the lion is adorned with a row of pellets indicating stylized fur or mane, with clearly articulated claws and a swept tail. The figure is boldly raised in high relief against a flat, unadorned field. No legend or inscription is present on this face. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A enthroned duke seated facing, rendered in schematic Romanesque style, holding a tall flagpole or lance in one hand and a bird of prey — likely a falcon — in the other, emblematic of ducal authority and the hunt. The figure is surrounded by a beaded inner circle, with further concentric decorative elements visible in the field. The design is characteristic of 13th-century Bavarian feudal coinage under the Wittelsbach dynasty. No legend is present; the reverse bears only the figural composition within its circular border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto II of Bavaria, known as "the Illustrious," ruled during a period of sustained Wittelsbach consolidation after the dynasty had wrested the duchy from the Welfs in 1180. These bracteate-style pfennigs were struck under regional minting authority at a time when the Holy Roman Empire's fragmented monetary system meant each territorial lord effectively controlled his own coin supply — quality and weight standards varied accordingly, and debasement was a constant administrative temptation.
Emmerig's Regensburg corpus remains the primary reference for Bavarian bracteates of this period, with Em Reg#223 placing this piece within the Regensburg minting sphere.
