| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the arms of Freiburg im Üechtland — a stylized eagle displayed upon a shield — rendered in low relief characteristic of mid-15th century Swiss municipal coinage. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, itself surrounded by a bold outer beaded border. The eagle's head is depicted in profile with a prominent annulet above, consistent with the heraldic conventions of the Freiburg civic type. No legend is present; the entire design is purely armorial. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, typical of hammered bracteate-style small coinage of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a uniface or near-uniface hammered piece typical of this denomination and period, the reverse presents an incuse or weakly struck mirror impression of the obverse design, showing the Freiburg eagle arms in negative relief. The surface is essentially blank and unadorned, with no legend, inscription, or deliberate reverse design. The irregular flan exhibits the characteristic flat, roughly finished surface of hand-struck medieval Swiss municipal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Freiburg im Üechtland — now Fribourg, Switzerland — was operating as a virtually autonomous city-state under Savoyard suzerainty during this period, with its own mint rights and monetary jurisdiction. These fractional silver pieces circulated alongside a tangle of competing regional currencies, and their tiny weight reflects the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage that plagued Swiss cities throughout the early fifteenth century. The Savoyards formally ceded most remaining monetary oversight to the city by mid-century.
