| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bracteate coinage struck on a thin silver flan displaying a stylized coffin-shaped or sarcophagus-like device — the emblem giving this type its popular name 'Sargpfennig' (coffin pfennig) — rendered in low relief at center field. The main device is flanked by small pellets or decorative elements to each side, with the whole composition enclosed within a raised inner ring bordered by a beaded or cable outer rim. The design is characteristic of the late medieval Halberstadt civic bracteate tradition, executed in the bold, schematic hammered style typical of north German municipal coinage of the 14th–15th centuries. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Sargpfennig" — coffin pfennig — takes its name from the distinctive bracteat-style shape that medieval handling and wear produced: the thin silver fabric folding and curling at the edges until the coin resembled a miniature casket. Halberstadt's episcopal mint had long dominated regional coinage, but by the late 14th century the city itself had won sufficient autonomy to strike civic issues, and these small pfennigs circulated heavily through the Harz foothills trading networks for well over a century.
