| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a displayed eagle, rendered in the late medieval Germanic style typical of small hammered bracteate-influenced pfennigs. The eagle's wings are spread and its body faces forward, occupying nearly the full flan. Above the eagle, the abbreviated legend VEB (Vitus Episcopus Bambergensis) appears, referencing Bishop Veit I Truchsess von Pommersfelden. A small rosette or decorative element is visible to the left of the eagle in the field. The coin is struck on an irregular, roughly-shaped flan characteristic of late 15th to early 16th century hand-hammered minor coinage. |
